Have you tried the mushroom candy? I ordered it and he wasn't exaggerating about the maple flavour. It sort of reminds me of maple toffee... the dill was good, I think? But I still couldn't wrap my head around sweet dill. XD Over all my favour was the black currant, I think. Tho does that count as 'rare'?

Actually they apparently used to go to Florida once a year before covid so we were talking about them coming to my shop. I'm probably going to have Terry on my podcast sometime soon.

I just put my first order in! My kids are going to be so excited to find a bag of your Easter Image candy and a bag of your Easter Drop candy in their baskets this year, especially my daughter. She and I watch your videos every morning before school. She has special needs and sometimes has a hard time focusing but your videos keep her attention and calm her down. I think your soothing voice helps! I also picked up a couple of bags for my upcoming birthday. They say you should treat yourself and I can't think of a better way to do that than with a treat from Public Displays of Confection! 😁🍬🍭

I had never really had hard candy before until I stumbled upon you guys! I got the lime sour, green apple, and the peach. I never thought it would taste so good, you all do such a good job!

I've been watching for a while and it's been great to see Jake improving his craft over time! He'll be a master candymaker in no time

Every time I have a bad day, one of your videos shows up. It makes my day a whole lot better and brings me that little bit of joy that keeps me going

you can really tell how much love is put into the candy ☺️!!

Get this channel to 1mil! Greg I have watched you for years and your artistry and the way you teach others makes me so happy :) you deserve it!

Back in the early 70's my mom worked at a small candy shop in town, usually around Easter. She always made sure I got my peanut butter eggs and a solid chocolate bunny. 😍

I love his voice it is very relaxing and helps me sleep 😂

I'm new to watching candy makers and I love that you're explaining things as you go!! Thanks!!!

Wow, I just got my order in the mail today. I've never had image candy, but now I get that the pulling increases surface area which intensifies the flavor. There are really really good.

Hi, regular customer here! Just wanted to tell Greg and his team thank you for the sweets. They've brought me a lot of joy and comfort during the lockdown. I've also discovered that dropping them into warm beverages adds a little kick of flavor to my otherwise routine drinks. I've been making horehound coffee and rose/nectar hot toddies while in quarantine. They're delectable by themselves, too. Hope you are staying safe and healthy; I look forward to visiting in person someday when the pandemic is over. All the best wishes, - Emma

This was pretty awesome that your guys pulled this off. I saw some candy makers in Korea making hard candy with faces in it and it's so difficult that seeing your people coming that close to perfection is amazing.

This looks amazing! I always love watching these videos, they really calm me down after a long day

I love these videos, it inspired me to try making my own hard candies. it has not gone well, but every now and then I try again. it is a lot of fun. Of course, whenever I get the bug to pull some sugar I also order some candy from PD so my family can at least have some edible candy.

🐣 Those are so amazing !! I am always so impressed by how you can make a picture or writing on something so tiny !! I am impressed that you are able to pass the knowledge on to your helpers , cause it seems so tricky. And your voice should be on some commercials !! Easter blessings 🕊 from California. 🐇 🌷

omg i used to watch your videos all the time in high school and I am very excited that you’re still making them

I'm super excited to get my candies in the mail, I've wanted to try it since you made the black currant video and I've finally got the chance!

Just gonna say Happy Birthday to the table now.....a day early..... but hey never know if there is an upload coming on March 31st. So just in case, Happy Birthday Cooling Table!

It all looks so good together. Great job, guys!

I absolutely love your image candy videos

I love seeing what you & your team come up with! One of these days when I have the extra funding I'll have to pick up some fun flavors.

9 years!? Congratulations! I’ve been with you guys since I was 12!

they make the best candy! the vanilla whisky shamrocks are amazing

I love this candy. I got this one, honey and lavender, chocolate strawberries and coffee. All delicious. I came down during wrestlemania week.

I just bought some candy and I already can't wait!!

finally ordered some of the candy. The stuff is GOOD

I'm genuinely curious as to how you make the flavoring, not just exploring different flavors (like on your pickle and mushroom videos) but the actual trial and error of it, and what you combine to get where you are.

These turned out great! Kudos to you and your team! Long time fan, first time commenting. lol

sitting here getting to watch this while having my banana image candies I ordered for the second time now because the first time trying them from you guys there were so delicious! it's a cool feeling to have them in my hand knowing they originated from this table (I've been watching the channel for a while now and caved and ordered some) we're up in Canada but we're already fans, never had hard candy with so much flavour before, normally I don't even like hard candy very much, but my husband and I love the assorted ones we ordered

I can fall asleep to the chopping on the candvile.

Have you ever tried to do anything with the chips, flecks, dust, etc that comes from canviling the candy rods? Since you already have unicorn droppings, maybe you could create another mythical creature item - pixie dust, fairy sparkles or something like that.
