We've been asked how sugar free hard candy is made, as hard candy is usually made of sugar. Without sugar what would you have? The answer is in this video. We are making our Nectar flavor in sugar free hard candy. Our Nectar flavor is a secret recopy from the 1800's that we got from the Mullanes candy store in Cincinnati. It was open from 1848 to 1988.

I ordered some nectar candy a couple months ago because I was curious, and honestly was surprised by the difference in opinion on what the flavor was. My dad said it reminded him of butterscotch, my sister said it reminded her of honey, and the first impression I got was of cream soda. So if you like any of those types of flavors, go for it. It'll probably be right up your alley.

Yes, and just like the romans the usa food industry do know how to f up your health. Aspartate, sucralose, manitol, maltodextrin, isomalt are all very bad artificial sugars that should never be consumed by normal humans. Use allulose, stevia, monkfruit, or erythriol. Not all the toxic artificial sugars.
i literally get so happy and feel warm when watching this. ur voice is so soft and all the videos are about candy! how much better can this get! thankyou so much for making these :)
I love that you incorporate the history and science in your candy making videos! 😀
I love your videos, because not only do you show us entertaining footage of how you make your candy but you also give us a miniature history lesson which always keeps me entertained. Keep up the great work!
This channel is genius. Literal eye candy, interesting trivia, and good production. I'll be buying some bags off the website for sure!

watching him drop those things and they just perfectly separate made me so happy
I was so intranced by the process of the candy that I almost didnt notice the eye candy manking it.

Is Isomalt easier or harder to work with? Again, thank you for the entertaining and informative videos, will consider visiting you if I ever travel near your area (I'm Brazilian)
@Warhamer116
5 жыл бұрын
isomalt isn't as sticky as sugar (which mostly comes from humidity or is added during some processes) which means it is harder to use for image candy and it is harder to cool without causing it to break, meaning it requires almost constant stirring in order to not cool down into a chunk with almost liquid core. It is very good for drops as the shattering effect and non-stickyness actually makes it easier for that job but hard to work with for image candies: source, I worked with both substances in a summer job back when I was a kid, although the 'image candy' we did was nowhere as elaborate as the ones done in here.

At least for drops I found it easier to work with then sugar. And I've never made image candy with it just because of the amount of waste but I do make candy canes with it every year and I find them no more difficult to work with.

@@LoftyPursuits Did you ever consider making Isomaltulose candy? It's also very similar to succrose, bit they use yeast to turn one of the molecules around, so that you don't get a sugar rush because your intestine doesn't pull it into the bloodstream as quickly. It's half as sweet, but still has the same energy/metabolism after it's split into fructose and glucose. Also it doesn't harm teeth, because those bacteria can't digest it. So candy you don't have to brush your teeth after ;)

Cyclamates also can affect your vision, but (at least for me) its nowhere near as bad, unless exposed to bright lights. I generally avoid any artificial sweeteners because the long term exposure to them is not really that well documented (and I generally tend not to trust some of the studies referenced), and I don't want any liver damage, or led poisoning alternatives (led used to pe a popular sweetener, before they discovered it was poison). I mean sure, in small doses they are probably fine, but i am bad at keeping track of how much stuff I eat, especially when combined with serving sizes being like half a packet and multiple foods use same sweetener or something.

Anon ymus It is quite misleading to say that Aspartame causes blurry vision just because it happens to you. Negative reactions to Aspartame have been reported, but as the vast majority of people seem to have no issue with it, it is rightly considered safe. Also, what does Lead have to do with modern artificial sweeteners? Lead (II) acetate hasn't been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years, and in that time we have learned how to test chemicals for toxicity. I also find it funny how much people go on about "the dangers of artificial sweeteners", and instead consuming sugar, which SCIENCE has shown is isn't exactly benign in large amounts.
