yes, she said 1 1/2 tsp but it looked like 2 heaped tsp she put in! Let us know if it works.

they've not put it on the beeb website. why not nip into your local bookshop and use them as a library! better to do that than waste ingredients!!!
good luck.

yes it was a teaspoon and a half.. i made a note of the ingredients and posted the recipe here on the christmas thread as an idea for christmas presents. Someone on that thread has already tried it. LOL.

It sounds exactly like cinder toffee for which someone posted a recipe on the wartime experiment thread - I'll look it up

Here it is http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=5568810&postcount=306 thanks to Recovering Spendaholic. It is worth reading on through that thread ad people give other versions and tips. I think someone even refers to it as hokey pokey somewhere but I may have misremembered (there was a war on you know).

After you made it, snap into bits. You can soften some vanilla icecream a little bit and add the hokey pokey. Re-freeze. It's really nice.

BTW, I have the book, so I can answer questions. Only not this morning as I need to have a shower and get to work! It's my long day - teaching almost non stop from 10 till 5, and across two completely different subjects. Oh, and the students will be grouchy cos it's ramadan and they are hungry, and I will have to let them pop out and pray at various intervals. I'm ok with that, it goes with the territory around here, but it does tend to stuff up the lesson plan.
