With 39 nostalgic how-tos from peanut brittle to mint patties and lollipops, it's a wee bit like downloading a school fete cake stall. (In other words, utterly scrumptious).
For a taste of what's inside, we're giving you a sneaky peek at the easy-peasy sticky apples recipe below. For even more sugary morsels, visit the App Store.
INGREDIENTS:
8 small red apples, washed and air dried
2 cups caster sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon red food colouring
8 wooden sticks
METHOD:
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Spear a stick into each apple about 2/3 of the way in. Check to see they go in straight.
Over low heat, cook sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Stir until sugar has dissolved and then bring to boil without stirring. (To prevent sugar crystallising, brush down side of pan with a wet pastry brush.)
Add food colouring and cream of tartar and give it a stir.
Reduce heat to low and simmer mixture for 20 minutes or until it reaches 150°C (hard-crack stage). Take off the heat immediately.
When toffee ceases bubbling, dip each apple into the toffee. You can coat an apple evenly by tipping the pan on an angle. Make sure you get lots of sticky stuff around the top of the stick, so it doesn't fall out when you hold it.
Put all sticky apples on to baking trays and set at room temperature. They'll set in about 30 minutes.
Best eaten straight away, but you can store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 24 hours.
Makes 8 apples.
