Gummy & Candy Making

Gummy and candy making is the process of creating confections, such as gummies, hard candies, caramels, and chocolates, using various ingredients, techniques, and equipment. These treats can be made at home for personal enjoyment or produced on a larger scale for commercial purposes.

The ingredients used in gummy and candy making vary depending on the type of candy being made, but they typically include some combination of sugar, corn syrup, water, flavorings, and coloring agents. For example, gummies are typically made with gelatin or other gelling agents, while hard candies are made with sugar that has been boiled to a specific temperature to create a hard, glass-like texture.

Candy making also involves a variety of techniques, such as cooking, stirring, shaping, and cooling. Different candies require different techniques and equipment, such as candy thermometers, molds, and tempering machines.

In recent years, there has been a trend towards using more natural and organic ingredients in candy making, as well as creating vegan and gluten-free options to cater to a wider range of dietary needs and preferences.

Overall, gummy and candy making is a fun and creative hobby that can produce delicious treats for people of all ages to enjoy!
