The work environment really is pretty sweet here, pun intended 😉

I'm so glad Greg has spoken about his favorite part. I love when other candy makers pick up the candy and let it drip and all that. I've always wondered why Steve doesn't do it, but I guess he's just a practical man haha.

You 2 work so well together!

Adding cream of tartar when you're making candy helps prevent the creation of sugar crystals. That's why lots of icing, syrup or candy recipes call for it: it makes it so the end product doesn't have large crunchy sugar capsules.Apr 1, 2022

First, I love these videos and I can't even tell you why. It's hypnotizing to watch! I have one suggestion/question. Why do you use a tiny shot glass for the flavoring? It's awkward to hold with gloves - I'm waiting for someone to drop it in the molten candy... And the repetition, of 4 shots, 5 1/2 shots.... I recommend you use a nice graduated cylinder for measuring. You can get very accurate measures, it's easy to clean, etc. Sorry - the scientist in me and my OCD just cringe at the little shot glass. Keep up the great work!

The candies are so pretty when they're pulled. We've made hand -pulled taffey

Clear MYSTERY candy! Yum!

Cream of tartar prevents crystallization of the sugar. So it makes the candy not be possibly grainy.

Love the music!

I’ve got my mystery bag and blue raspberry ordered!

I love these guys

which inverts sucrose into fructose and glucose and thereby helps to prevent crystallization of the sugar syrup.

I was so happy to hear "plain pineapple" flavor ... I was craving that very flavor about 2 mins beforehand. I LOVE PINEAPPLE CANDY!!!

Yeah Rootbeer would be awesome an all sour batch too... the fruit and friendly was great didn't last long

You should use ear protection in that loud room. People will have hearing damage from it when heyre older.

You should make orange cream ribbons, And/Or something else like cherry limeade, or blue raspberry lemonade, or strawberry banana. I guess what I'm tryna say is two flavors mixed. Flavors you don't typically make.

Wellsa!, My A1C had went up and I hadn't had any candies for sometime now!??? I was like what's the deal!!!!? So I'm about to order something soon maybe!😜Just Love the interaction and the explaining of the process and it makes whatever anyone orders even a more personal touch!!!. Thanks for the videos!!! But until then I'll just lick my laptop screen!!!

I think a tropical mystery mix would be good we need coconut in there

The one ingredient here that may concern you is cream of tartar. This ingredient is used as a binding agent to help ensure that everything sticks together to become a solid sheet of hard candy without having to rely on the use of corn syrup to get the job done

Hi Craig... Miss seeing you.🍭🍫

I make candy without corn syrup but vinegar instead. Am I doing it wrong? It tastes good…

Maybe it would be a good idea to not put the tartar in for science. Some sort of candy could possibly be better flaky. I mean, think croissant. Worth testing!
