    made a batch for a works charity do and it has set but is very oily to touch - will this go?
    Recipe was 100g syrup, 200g sugar, 40g butter and 2 tsbs water boiled and then vinegar and bi carb added to make it froth.
    Hope someone can save my batch - it tastes yummy
    I dont even have any kitchen towel to dry it.

    I went and bought kitchen towel - it was only oily where it was on the grease proof paper. Once dabbed it was fine.
    It is like the centre of a crunchy but it turns into toffee as you chew it.
