Candy maker here! What happened there was it was too hot you have to use ice baths to slowly cool down the pan before putting on the table it shouldn't look like a liquid when it hits the table should be more solid. Like you guessed this is time sensitive.. Also to get it more crunchy you have stretch it on a warmed rod that keeps it from fully cooling this is the hardest part because going too slow can cause it to harden but this part is important for removing air and also mixing the flavor more evenly.

It is worth noting that the early phase - the melting of the polystyrene glasses - is how modelling plastic cement works. You apply a thin layer to one side of the new joint, press the two parts together, and the cement (which is by half acetone and by half butyl acetate) melts a layer of plastic, which will then weld the two pieces together when it solidifies again.

It would require nuclear fission reactions, while Nigel does only chemical reactions

sugar / corn syrup / water mixture can solidify like that if there is still to much water in it / not boiled long enough at the desired temperature.

Really glad this guy uses his powers for good instead of evil

As a professional chef for many many years it's incredible he managed to make candy without horrifically burning himself. Also the reason why your candy seized like that is because you added in alot of cold liquid(food dye) without a stabilizer, which caused it to start instantly crystalizing around it even before you poured it out of the pan. Basically, in short, make sure to heat it to 300 or 320 or whatever ur temp is AFTER any additives or you'll get a chalky crumbly sugar mess instead of candy.

What happened on the first attempt at the cinnamon candy is something called “sugaring”. It’s when the candy is so saturated that it crystallizes back into regular sugar. This can be cause by too much agitation, too much water, too little water, and too high of a temperature. The fix is exactly what you did, using corn syrup to help stabilize the sugar.

Never realized how much I love the way he says "so!"

As a hobbyist candymaker, the candy seizing up is crystallization. The usual suspect here is undissolved sugar left on the sides of the pot. Most recipes recommend you apply a wet brush to the sides of the pot to get rid of any crystals left once it's reached the boiling point; some recommend putting a lid on for a few minutes, causing the condensed water to do the same job. The issue is that hard candy is meant to be a glass, an amorphous solid -- so any seed crystals will spread if introduced. The process happens very fast with hot candy, but still happens slowly at room temperature. Freezing is exothermic, and if it happens again, you can actually feel the latent heat of fusion as it occurs! At 40:24, you can see some crystals left on the sides of the pot, after the heating has already been turned off. Leaving the syrup in the pot, adding in cold ingredients, and stirring it, all cool down the syrup and increase the risk of picking up a small amount of solid sugar that won't melt -- and, just picking up a few molecules can cause crystallization when the candy gets closer to the freezing point. The second attempt likely worked because the bubbling action brought the hot syrup in contact with the solid crystals, allowing the heat to melt them. In general, remelting candy causes decomposition reactions to happen, possibly causing off flavors and colors; as well as boiling of volatile oils, making the intended flavor less pronounced. That said, fantastic job getting it to work on the first batch!
