Making your own candy is a lot of fun and is a great way to stay creative in the kitchen. You can go all out and make your own gourmet candies, such as caramelized nuts, or you can keep it simple and make a few different types of candy that your kids will enjoy. Homemade candy tastes so much better than store-bought varieties, and it’s easy to make at home.

How do you make your own candies? A candy bar consists of three main components: 

  1. To make the base, you put sugar and other ingredients into a pan and heat it. 

This is one of my favorite candies, and it’s so easy to make! All you need is sugar and a candy thermometer. It’s basically just sugar and water that boil together, so you’re safe to play around with the sugar amount. You can make it as sweet as you like, and it will never get past the boiling point, making it a great project for kids.

  1. For the filling, you put in the right kind of filler and some kind of flavoring agent. 

The best method for making candy is to use syrup and sugar and add some special type of flavoring agent. That is why some of the types of filling are used.

  1. To make the wrapper, you put the candy in a mold and pour the desired amount of candy into it.

The cost of making your own candy is very low, especially compared to the high cost of commercial candy. You can create candy at home with the help of an old butter wrapper, a silicone mold, and some candy, and it is so much healthier than store-bought candy.
