Candy Canes Made from Sugarcane | HTME

Just in time for Christmas, I attempt to make a Candy Cane from scratch!

After my failures at making candy corn, I take another stab at making a candy cane, starting from sugarcane. For flavoring I use cinnamon I harvested in Mexico, and mint and wintergreen I grew and foraged plus distilled alcohol to extract the flavoring.

The chef dude looked really happy when he was cooking that candy, damn. He found a job he's very happy with.

[chxryaki]

That chef is too good for this world.

edit: sorry, i noticed a typo

[BettyOs]

I love how excited that chef is about the candy.

[mikesullivan]

That guy was too excited making some candy canes. 😂😂😂

[Ariffy]

Add the flavors while boiling because moisture makes it soft and sticky

[riccardodambrosio]

You have to put in the extracts at the start when its molten, stir it very fast so all the alcohol and water boils out and doesnt make it sticky or soft, also add the color at the start too then just stir it around to even the temperature

[ShaunakDe]

Its fun to see how much more efficient you're getting, now that you have a base of raw / first stage products.

[Liv-oxzu]

Aw I love how excited the chef was, he seemed genuinely happy to teach someone.

[smow]

That chef is pretty excited about making candy XD

[thepap]

I want someone to love me how much that guy loves making candy

[xWood]

I appreciate that you got tips from Cody'slab again.

[sarahmarshall]

The guy getting really excited at 10:24 was SUPER CUTE. That made my whole day.

You should add the flavoring and coloring when the candy is incredibly hot, as it'll mostly boil out the excess liquid and won't change the consistency of your candy by adding extra liquid to it.

Look at that! Would you just look at that! Look at it!

I don't understand why you have less then half a million subs :( the effort you put in your videos is much more then probably every other channel on YouTube.. and I don't think that there's an other channel that does the same as you! I really enjoy watching your videos and you deserve much more views!
Merry christmas from Austria :)

[marcs]

Thank you sooo much... I've been craving Candy canes for a while... and watching videos and I was just about to make them... and you just convinced me to just go to the Dollar store and pick up a box. True they will be made from refined sugars but they are 10 for $1 and I won't eat more than one a day and I'll eat my fruits and veggies. I promise. And I won't have to fail...thanks again.

“Look at thaahht” that man likes his candy

I think the reason it never quite hardened was because you added the extracts at the wrong stage. Adding them prior to pouring and boiling the extracts with the sugar might’ve removed any excess liquids in them. Either that or the sugar never quite reached the ‘hard crack’ phase temperature-wise.
