What is your favorite flavor of hard candy to make?

[katsitton]

If you coat the measuring cup with cooking oil before you put in the corn syrup it will come out very easily. So much so that you won't have to scrape.

this worked out sooo great! I didnt have thermometer, so i just eyeballed it. its done by 7~9 min, you can see it with dropping the syrp into cold water.

I always use the LorAnn microwave hard candy recipe. It always comes out perfectly! No thermometer required.

Perfect! I’m trying to learn some new candies to make for Easter this year. I’m going to try this. Thank you for teaching me something new! I make cooking videos too! It’s a pleasure to learn from other talented creators like you! I hope we can learn more from each other!

Used this recipe thinking it would perfectly fit 1 mold because I have the same exact one and it ended up making enough to fill over 2...

[jonnytroggs]

Tried this recipe and everything went well up until pouring it in the heat resistant containers which I mistook as regular measuring cups (where it either warped or put a hole through them). Was a good learning experience and candy came out with some of the batch, though I still need to experiment more with the recipe to get what I'm looking for. I was curious on where can I get similar heat resistant containers that you use in the video?

At what point am I suppose to add the THC?

[oranlichtman]

Do I need to use the corn syrup? What does it do and what will the candy be like without it?

[anonymousforbestinterest]

You should use a rubber spatula and wipe it on the side of the pot you’re using not the side of the measuring cup also shouldn’t stir mixture once it Begins boiling untill gets to 300 because you’re messing with temps and stuff

[christinekotenko]

None of these videos tell us where yo buy the molds

Does the oil you add to the mold make the candy slimy or stick during packaging/storing? I use powdered sugar, but wanted a nicer presentation than always having the sugar on my candy. I strayed away from the oil for fear of having oil on my finished product. I would be interested in hearing your results with using the oil. Thank you. Matt

Is there a particular reason this has been boiled until it is caramelized? Maillard effect really affects the taste of candy.

[JC-igxy]

If I wanted to coat the hard candy with chile powder and other spices like Mexican candy what would be the best way to do this?

[tomasuehara]

can i use this sugar for a cutton candy?

[mayolormairez]

Did u have left over candy or was it a perfect for 1 tray?

[erinromine]

Where did you get the red containers you poured it into to put in the flavors and how much time do you have to add the flavors before having to pour into the molds?

[Kolevrott]

Somehow my candy gets soft at the end. What could it be?

[RobvanGils]

Does it stay liquid at 90 degrees celcius?
