Stained Glass Jelly; Chocolate, Maple Caramel and Vanilla with Coconut
I admit that I am obsessed, you kind of have to be to keep food blogging. There are nights that I throw my hands in the air and say 'No more!' But then I sneakily find myself just checking the sites I love, to see what they are up to and suddenly I'm back in the game. This post is no different. I went to NQN (Not Quite Nigella) for the uninitiated, and found this colourful and cheeky dessert. She in turn had found a similar idea on this creative site and so from one side of Australia to the other, and one side of the world to the other, we have a theme on a theme, and now, on a theme. Shades of jelly (or jello) depending on your little place in the world.

Place sugar and syrup into heavy based saucepan on a medium heat. Do not stir, shake occasionally if needed to settle surface of sugar. The sugar will melt. Watch this really closely as it can go from caramel to charcoal very quickly and when the sugar is fully incorporated with the syrup and is liquid, add the water quickly. It will spit.
