Took me a second. I was thinking the stripes of the candy cane, then h strated with 7 nation army and thought it was an odd phrase and then I did the math.

I feel the time he lets it pour out is intentional cuz if he spends too much time gettin every drop out, then it will cool too fast on the table; esp when acids or/and colours need mixed in on the coolin table

Those are amazing, I like the monochrome look even more than the "traditional" red and white that we use now.

Seeing Greg pull the candy with a smile is always such a gem. You can see how much he really enjoys his craft as well as making sure that everyone gets the chance to experience eating candy.

the seven nation army part made me ugly laugh in public

These videos relax me and I love to watch this before bed❤️

Thank you! My mom can rarely ever have candy canes because of her dye allergy and I've recently developed one as well. It's great to see people actually taking these allergies seriously.

These look so good!!! I feel like this color combo would also lend itself well to a bit more unorthodox Florida orange flavor 🍊

Beautiful! Very nice of you guys to think of people with different food allergies/concerns too!

I find it amazing that these videos never get old for me. Great stuff, yet again, Greg!

The white stripes joke....perfect. it was all timing and you deadpan nailed it

I've always wondered why there is sometimes a colorful spot in the middle of some candy canes!

Your videos are always so wonderful, thanks for sharing and thanks for the info on historical candy! Great pun too hehe

Wow! It's so nice to see dye free candy. About a year ago I became allergic to artificial dyes. I love your videos, thanks for your uploads.

My father is allergic to corn so this is perfect!

The only thing more addictive than your videos is your candy, Greg.

When I picture a candy maker this guy is exactly what I picture. Heavier set guy who always has a smile. Keep up the great work.

I could listen to this dude and his little analogies all day

These snow candy canes look so pretty!

I love the look of the pulled white candy!!

I wish I had the room too make hard candies in my kitchen. Especially this time of year. Watching your videos is a close second. So relaxing.

It's been a while since I've watched a Lofty Pursuits video, and it feels so good to be back for the holidays. The content is always cheerful, calming, and plain heartwarming. Maybe I'll finally order some candy for the holidays!

my GF and i love your candy, Greg! your soothing voice makes it taste better

What beautiful background music on this video! Thank you for making all-inclusive candy canes.

I just found your sight, watched 2 videos & already love your sight. I love the info & stories that go along with your videos. Thank you much! I do plan on ordering. I'm from just outside of Buffalo, NY.

I never knew of the corn syrup and red colouring issues, so thank you for illuminating me and making me wish I lived in Tallahassee!

I can literally taste the wholesomeness in these videos, I love em

This makes me incredibly happy. I have sensitivities to dyes. I am allergic to corn. Unfortunately I'm also allergic to mint so candy canes are not a option for me to eat but it is so nice to see that candy companies are listening to customers.

I love that I've been subbed here so long and am getting to see the progression of your channel. Your videos just keep getting better and I shan't stop enjoying them!! ♥

I've been following u guys for a few months/year now and with each episode I say the same thing to myself- "first place I visit will be u guys"

Hahahaha! This is awesome! You can tell this guy LOVES his job.

WOW you have sooo much skill!! You do this pretty much effortlessly!! My family ordered some of your candy and I’m soo excited to try! I will tell you how much I like it, I guarantee that I will love it though!

Thanks for the tie discount code! That takes care of most of my tough present people-candy canes for those who like them and ties for those who don't! (Since the don'ts are into formalwear ;) )

Watching these vids are so relaxing, idk why but its great.

These are so lovely! They're going on my wishlist for next Christmas

I would love to see you and james townsend talk candy!!!

I love watching how he makes candy. It’s so cool and neat.

Oh my goodness I am going to have to see if I can get any of these for next year! I can have a normal corn syrup but its better if I avoid it. These look amazing. Thanks for going to the extra effort to include as many people as you can!

Thank you for making a candy with less additives, and thinking of everyone who can't or simply don't want to eat corn syrup and food color.

Love this!!!! Thanks for making dye and corn syrup free!

Nice seeing some one willing to make corn syrup free candy. My family members have a food allergy to corn.

Those look fantastic! I rather like the white and amber stripes. Very classy! Thanks for the videos. They make my day a little bit sweeter.

Thank you for thinking of us goths with the Black Friday, "Black Canes" and with allergies and mental health issues that are impacted by artificial colours with the "Snow Canes".

I like your reference to the white stripes :D If i ever come to the US i will make sure to visit you in your shop :-)

Just when I was about to write in, “What do you do with that chunk that you just excised,” you show us how it is hidden in the middle! First LP vid where I’ve caught that! Definitely visiting your store the next time I’m in Tallahassee. PS: great reference to the White Stripes.

Thanks for letting us watch! The smell the entire time was fantastic. We will by again before I go home. My dad subscribed to you afterwards. Lol

Ok you have a GREAT voice! Animated but not too much and relaxing with a slight smile sound 😍

Awesome White Stripes reference! =) Great video, happy holidays!

Reminds me of when I first made peppermint candy the kitchen smelled of Christmas for hours

It depends on what How long I'm pulling. I aim for 15% for image candy, a bit more for canes.

Oh my gosh! These are the best candy cane I have ever tasted. After watching this video (last year 2018). I bought 6 (wished I had ordered more). My daughter and I are allergic to corn. (And I have a problem with dyes). We have tried the ones made with rice syrup 😝 and they had a bad after taste and not enough peppermint. (Sorry it makes your eyes water, but it is the best). This year I put in my order as soon as I found out you were ready to make them. Love you guys. Have a peaceful day.😊

Glad you like them. We made them over the weekend.

I purchased a package of these and some other candies from you about a week ago--I was secretly hoping I'd see at least one of the batches show up in a video! 💗

Seeing Greg smile, makes me smile. :)

I Really Enjoy your vidoes Greg, and look forward to getting to Tallahassee some day to visit your candyshop.

SO happy you made a "white stripes" reference.

You and your crew are always amazing to watch, and this was no exception. Do you think we'll ever get a look at some of your antique candy books or are they too delicate to do much with/for your eyes only?

my favorite channel ever

I’ve missed these videos, you should do another “satisfying molten candy” video I really liked those!

You cant fool us, Gusteau. Jokes aside, I love this one.

I love this channel! It's so nostalgic for me even though I've never made candy :)

Netflix: are you still watching? Someones daughter: 6:28

I love that the guy talking is also the one making the candy

Wooooo hoo hooo..I can't do corn syrup, you rock!

I wish I could come make candy with you guys!

Hey Greg, I love watching your videos. I've learned so much about candy making, and it always bring a smile to my face. Your videos are both incredibly informative and relaxing. Won't lie, might have caught myself starting to doze off once or twice... Every-time I see a video from you though, it always brings a smile to my face. I'm also glad to see that you're back up and running after that hurricane! -PS, I absolutely LOVE the brass rollers for the one drop-machine. Those are amazing. Do you have all the ones you might want or need? Or have you put thought to possibly getting a metal-smith trying to make you some extra ones? I know it wouldn't be the same as ones from the 1800's, but if a shoe fits. Thanks again for another lovely video!

I love that yall think about things like this (or have been informed by customers desirin such and remembered it; either way), bcuz tiny little accomodations like this can mean the world to those they impact. I kno even as an amateur baker myself ive gotten to get a small sense of the feelin of compersion from bein able to accomodate someone when id made a rice based bread mostly just to try it and when i shared it with some friends; one of them was a person who cant ever eat bread cuz of gluten allergy and who was happy to scarf several of the mini loaves down :3 Similarly, at our local LARP group, Amtgard, its commonplace for any feast to have the main dish made sans spice originally and then split off and seasoned afterward bcuz of a shockin number of folks who cant have garlic or onion or random spices otherwise. Tho even when it was just the one person, it was still commonplace for the feastpreppers to know of such and prepare a plate or two worth of fhe feast food without seasonin for said person. It may not be the version of the food or candy **we** wud want to consume, esp not myself as i have to way overseason food to rly enjoy it; but thats still no reason why we cant make it the "inferior" way for those who want it as such, or need it as such. Ofc, we need to be aware of such in the first place tho, cuz its just not intuitive to consider that others may need their food without corn syrup, food dyes, spices, random veggies/fruits/meats, gluten, grains, etc. Once aware, it rly means a lot to those who find their needs accomodated; cuz you took the time to try to serve everyone, not just prty much everyone.

Drooooool. Time to order!!!

Listening to your soothing voice is just so cool, and so wondering if you'll make a candy with a Christmas story behind it, 'tis the Season, lol

I’m an 8 year old and I am amazed how you can make the candy

I would say that since more than 50% of the candy cane is white, it’s a white candy cane with stripes...but that’s just me and my math mind. 😊 But I do appreciate the White Stripes reference 🎶

As always a great informative video! I've always wondered what the difference is between the red {or other colors} & the white canes, now I know! 😊

This looks so great

I love this channel it’s so satisfying to watch

These are gorgeous 💖🙌

looks as delicious as always. great video!!

Ik I’m really late to this vid but finally, thanks for finally making a dye free candy!

Hah. Loved The White Stripes joke ya did there

These videos are always a delight and double so this time for the Seven Nation Army reference

That seven nation army joke was pretty great. Not even going to lie lmao

I would be interested in a seeing how you clean out the pot you poured the candy from. Maybe some of the other tools if it is different/interesting. Maybe at the end of a video.

These are the most beautiful candy canes I think I've ever seen. It'd be cool if u could make the stripes gold and white.

Hope I can order these for my son. He has a lot of food allergies, and we need to avoid the food dyes. But he loves candy canes!

Y'all make me want to make some candy of my own. I haven't done it in years; could be time to dust off that skill set.

I wish I could go to the actual shop!!!! I live in Texas so I can only order online 🙁
