I made this recipe today and it did not go in my favor. Very disappointing. After transferring the mixture to a slipat to cool to handle it essentially became hard as a rock.

Are you sure it's safe to use a sharp knife on a Silpat (or any silicone) sheet? The Silpat FAQ warns against using a knife or any sharp tool.

I wonder if you could divide the color sections less evenly and roll them into a ball with the colors layered over each one before cutting them up in order to get the consistency of color gradation and shape from commercial ones, instead of the equal color stripes that forces half of them to be backwards in color.

Also, do you think I can just eliminate the skim milk powder? Can I make these dairy free? It's the only "annoying" ingredient that I don't already have on hand, you know?

I'm tempted to suggest cornstarch, but I'm not sure what proportion/substitution would work.

I tried the recipe without milk powder - because I agree, it's not something you have on hand. It actually makes the dough really crumbly. You CAN make it without but the texture will not be the same and the dough becomes more difficult to work with. Let me know how it goes!

This has to be the most fun recipe ever!! I really want to make this--definitely one of those "how did they make that?!?!" recipes! And not too hard at all!! Thanks!

Thanks so much Tamara! They are super fun to make and even better if you have extra hands to help cut the candy!
