Making Candy, You Can

Can You Make Candy?



I have heard so many people say, “I can’t make candy” or “Wish I knew how to make candy” or “Candy making is a SPECIAL art” or “I wish I’d paid attention to my Grandmother (or Mom) when they were trying to teach me how to make candy”. I guess it’s because it looks complicated, but it isn’t REALLY. My hope is to take the mystery out of candy making, and/or give you some simple recipes. Some of these recipes are simple enough; EVERYONE will produce delicious candy and be the hit of the family.



In my next few blogs, I will be addressing the subjects of equipment, cooking methods, pit falls, and common problems with beginner candy making. Our daughter has made candy for years, as well as Peepaw’s Mom, and the two of them encourage me to try to expand my candy making skills. They both knew that I made a couple types of candy each year, and could expand it to cover many, many more types and flavors of candy.



So…the answer is YES, you can make candy…anyone can make candy! I hope you keep checking our blog for new input and HOPEFULLY some guidance on your candy making efforts. Let us know if you have tried any of the recipes or made any candy from our recipes!!
