I'm in Alabama, where the humidity is extremely high. To me, fizzies are the most difficult thing to make. I am told (by a successful Alabama fizzy maker), that the secret is in the amount of water you add to your recipe. She says to use the least amount possible, or none at all. I have made several good batches of fizzies using her recipe. However, this last weekend, I was completely unsuccessful and ruined and wasted a lot of ingredients. I just don't have the touch. MY opinion... they are worth EVERY penny we charge for them! Lady D
