Thanks for your guesses. I only wish it had been bird’s nest with mayo or salt water taffy!

Bill - weren’t you gong to do one? Anyone else?

I did a few days ago Kari. You need to click on the ‘more’ link or the posts title to see the full post. Perhaps this is obscure but I wanted to keep it so that new readers can see the image without seeing the answer directly below it.

Oh, there was plenty of that stuff in “Alien” the movie!

Mark–salt water taffy is a candy that you can buy along the east coast boardwalks. They may have it on the west coast, too, I’m not sure. It’s just taffy, but comes in a ton of different flavors.

My mom makes some kind of candy that resembles your photo. It looks like a birds nest and she puts a candied cherry on top. I thought she uses white chocolate, but maybe I’m wrong.

All I know is…I’m getting hungry!

Nina: tell Sabrina I’ve had some meringue disasters in my time but I’ve never produced one quite like that! After we’ve done a hundred of these I suspect ‘bird’s nest with mayo’ will still be the most wonderful guess! I’m impressed. I think Nikolas has a bright future. I wonder what in.

Nina - feel the force. You’re 5% right!

Kari I wasn’t dissing your guess - I was asking what the heck is ’salt water taffy’. I get the taffy bit (nice pun!).

Yeah, I suppose salt water taffy was a bit of a “stretch”. ha ha!

You say it’s not a difficult one, but I have no idea. Even my nieces and nephew were guessing…Nikolas said it was a bird’s nest with mayo! And Sabrina said it was meringue!

I am 95% certain it is not dough, but that is my guess.
