Anoodiles

Anoodiles are a type of soft, chewy, and slightly sweet confectionery that originated in the United Kingdom. They are typically made from a mixture of sugar, glucose syrup, and corn syrup, which is then combined with wheat flour and other ingredients such as cornstarch and salt. The mixture is heated and cooked until it reaches a specific consistency, then poured into molds to set. Anoodiles are often flavored with natural or artificial flavors, and may include additional ingredients such as fruit juice or nuts.

The name "anoodile" is derived from the French word "nougat," which refers to a similar type of confectionery made from a mixture of sugar, honey, and almonds. However, anoodiles are distinct from nougat in that they do not contain almonds and have a different texture and flavor profile. Anoodiles are often used as a filling for cakes and pastries, or as a topping for ice cream and other desserts.

Anoodiles are a popular treat in the United Kingdom, particularly during the Christmas season. They are often sold in small, individually wrapped packets, and can be found in supermarkets and other retail stores. Anoodiles are also a popular ingredient in homemade desserts and baked goods, and can be easily made in small batches using simple ingredients and equipment.
