I always see these types of candies being made in factories with all the fancy equipment I'm glad to see that its something I can do at home. Amazing and helpful video.

Wow great vid thanks for sharing. I am going to try just one kind to start with and I thought you had to dust it with powdered sugar when finished, , , it's good to see that you don't have to. Thanks and God bless

I never knew how to make shapes out of hard candy thank you

Tried this not go anywhere nearly as smoothly as this video.
Stuff turned to glue very quickly. Made a huge freekin mess that thankfully washed away by filling the rolling tray with water & reheating it to dissolve the sugars back into solution. Tried pulling the candy by hand to aerate it and get that bright green color (i made mints) which 'sorta' worked. I don't see HOW people manage to get it throw onto the wall hangers. Rolled it into irregular shaped tube & used culinary shears to cut them which became more difficult as the candy cooled. Tried one & the flavor was not very intense (i used one tablespoon of spearmint extract) & it was very sticky on my teeth. Ended up with 1-lb of mints.
Maybe it's something best done with an experienced mentor showing you what you're doing wrong or perhaps it just gets easier with practice.

[Lissa_Marie]

Very nice! And you seemed a little rushed so I’d imagine your candies look even more beautiful when not rushing.

I’m going to make your recipe but with infused sugar. Appreciate the recipe.

Enjoyed watching you make the sweets, they looked lovely and bright, brings back memories of when my dad used to make home made sweets over 40 years ago. I am going to give it a go, to make some home made sweets for presents. Thank you for sharing. (I wonder how much I end up eating lol )
