Candy making is a fantastic way to while away the time with your children. You can experiment and make your own specialties. There are many options open to you, such as hard and soft candy, numerous flavours, any combination of ingredients.
If you are a complete novice at candy making you won't go far wrong by having a go at making hard candy. The reason why hard candy is easy to make is that it is made up nearly entirely from sugars. You then just add in some flavouring to personalise it. There are many types of hard candy you can make. Popular choices include fruit drops, lollipops, and flavoured mints.
If you prefer soft candy, you can make jellies or marshmallows. Soft candy needs a bit more work than hard candy, but there is no reason why you shouldn't try it. For example, you make marshmallows by mixing together sugar, egg whites, gelatin and corn syrup. You then whip this mixture into a light texture, mixing in plenty of air.
Not all candy has to have sugar as its main ingredient. There are many other sweet options. Chocolate is an obvious choice, but there is also caramels and fudges. Why not give chocolate fudge a try. This is made by mixing chocolate with vanilla, milk, butter, corn syrup, and sugar together. After cooking allow the mixture to cool so that the result is hard delicious chocolate fudge.
The most important thing whatever
