Hi guys! These are not exactly the same tools I use, we couldn’t find our brands but these are just the same.
Recipe for a small batch of Hard Candy:
2 cups of white sugar
3/4 cup of Water
2/3 cup of light corn syrup
Food coloring ~ optional
1 Dram of LorAnn super strength oil
On medium heat, combine ingredients continuously stirring until it comes to a low or slow boil then stop stirring. Make sure to use your brush with warm water to brush away the sugar crystals from the inside of your pot, continue this periodically as needed.
Once your mixture reaches “Hard Crack” stage, remove from the heat and add your food coloring and your dream of flavoring. Quickly but carefully (will burn your skin if it gets on you 😩) transfer your mixture to a sheet pan or molds of your choice. *My molds had 24 bears per mold, this batch gave me 96 bears, amount will vary based on your molds.*

Very nice video. You and your husband did an excellent job.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a nice comment. 💗
Coating a wood toothpick with cinnamon oil and/or various quality mint oils can be a wonderful experience to your taste buds with practically no. sugars. 🙏🌹❤️
I used to love cinnamon toothpicks! It’s a heck of a lot healthier than Candy! 😆🙌💗 Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Had some of your candy love it 😋
Thanks for the video. I was specifically looking for a video about gummy bear silicone molds and hard candy 🍬 😋.
Thank you so much for your comment. I hope it turned out great! 🥳💗
Great Job*****Your right to the point of making the candy. Thank You******
You are so welcome, thank you for watching!
okay.... sooo wish I had watched this before i made my first batch of candy, which was just about 15 minutes ago....but now I know the tips and tricks...thank you
I’m so sorry! Thank you for watching and for your comment. Please let me know if you tried again and how it turned out?
Today I made a batch of hard candy smaller than this recipe...1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/4 cup water...I only added 1/2 teaspoon of the Lorann pepermint oil, I was afraid to add the full teaspoon since it says it is so much stronger...but now I wish I had used the full teaspoon...the flavor is great, but not as strong as I would have liked (and yes, I did wait til the boiling action had stopped before adding the oil)...so I would like to say that in my case it was not as strong as it says. The flavor is fantastic, next time I will make it stronger.
try a tablespoon to her recipe.. it's like 4.9ml instead of 3.7ml ;)
I make hard candy in batches and I always have used lorann oils to flavor all of the candy I make. I also do chocolates and I have gotten amazing compliments for my peppermint dark chocolate
I love peppermint and dark chocolate together! Thank you for watching ☺️
How much do you add for your hard candy?
U should start making videos again. Really enjoy your simple recipes!
That’s the nicest comment ever. I promise, more coming soon. Thank you for the comment and your support. 💕
Hard candies is a way better alternative than hard smoking. I have long been addicted to cigarettes. And soon I’ll be taking up skateboarding. And thus, to avoid huffing and puffing in between tricks, hard as it may be, I might have to quit smoking altogether. I was told smoking impedes athletic performance. I’m hoping your candies can help me.
I wish you luck on your journey. I quit smoking in 2014 and it was not at all an easy thing to do. Your plan sounds awesome though!
@@howtocooktocope7558
Thank you very much! So it’s a choice for me between smoking and skating. At first I considered vaping but my friends tell me that vaping is just as bad and eating candies is an even better cessation alternative. Plus, it gives a dose of extra carbohydrates for an energy boost. ( in skateboarding for me) I’m pretty sure you tried it too! Am I right? Anyhow, congratulations on your awesome patience and determination to quit smoking! Job well done ! Thanks for sharing the candies.
This works perfect!🤤
Thank you so much for your feedback 🤗🤗
I have made hard candy many times with corn syrup and I never brush down the pot, I was told that corn syrup keeps the candy from forming crystals, and so far I have never had crystals.
I rarely have an issue either. I believe this advice was originally given (not by me) for people just starting out, to be aware of sugar crystals or boiling too hard and fast. I make candy without that step as well 😊 Thank you for your comment!
Cake batter flav is the best!
I have never tried that flavor, I will have to try that! 😋
That's a lot of freaking candy on that table there...GODDAMN!
😆😆😆
My neighbor always used two drama instead of one. For a more powerful flavor. Everyone LOVED it
They have the best flavors! 😋
@deadman3rip is it sweet or sour?
I tried this and it was so good
It’s LorAnn oils! Thank you so much for the feedback 😌
I want heart shaped ones ❤
Great video. I make hard candy in the chemistry lab with students and they also learn how to carry out esterification, making the oils... 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m fascinated to learn about oil making that sounds amazing. 😲🥳
I know one person has already said two drams and everyone loved it, but what do you think would that be too much?
I have used 2 drams if I felt the flavor wasn’t strong enough for this size batch, so far that has only been one flavor. I use LorAnn Oils for that reason, their flavors are pretty potent. It wouldn’t hurt if you did though. 😊 I would only caution you if you are using hot cinnamon oil, that might hurt! 😱
I wanted a buttermint flavor so i used 1 dram btl of butterscotch and 1/2 peppermint and yuk! lol it was to minty. Oh well, i made 2nd batch, threw the first in and added another butterscotch dram btl. I'll leave the flavoring experiments to Lorann.
Funny. I was just looking at those oils online
Quality oils for sure! Great company with the best employees. I did not get paid to say that 😆
Hi there - I am wondering if you have any tips for keeping my hard candy mixture liquid while pouring into my molds. I have 75 cavities that I need to fill but by the 55 cavity, my mixture gets too solid and does is not able to pour. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I get about 60 bears (bear mold) or 45 and a few suckers from a small batch. I wish I had a better answer but I just had to practice to be fast 😂. I have heard people say you can reheat it but I wouldn’t advise it as it could and probably would compromise the flavor. Practice makes almost perfect 🤭 Are you making a small or large batch?
I've seen someone divide their batch, pour the first half from a silicone bowl and place the second half still in the pot onto a heated pancake griddle to slow the cooling process. I have not personally tried this so I can't attest to the success but this seemed like it was his standard practice. I imagine you'd still need to work quickly. I do plan on keeping my eyes peeled for a cheap griddle at the flea markets. I suppose any other small warming appliance would work. Just keep safety in mind if you have young helpers.
Have you ever made the hard candies with just honey? For dietary restrictions I can’t have cane sugar or the corn syrup.
I have made cough drops with honey and the consistency is not the same however, I intend on posting some healthier alternatives in the coming year so stay tuned, I will see what I can do! Thank you so much for your comment.
How long can you store the candy for?? Love making treats but I don't have a big sweet tooth so eat them slowly.
As long as you keep it in an air tight container away from moisture you can store it for months! Moisture will be your candy’s nemesis! Thank you for watching! 😊
@@howtocooktocope7558 thank you so much!!! I made your recipe today and I'm so happy with the way they turned out. First time making candy and I thought I would mess it up but your instructions were so clear and helpful that I felt like a pro candy maker. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe 😊
@@silverstream6063 this comment makes me so happy! 😊 Thank you for taking the time to give feedback, it means so much to me. Enjoy 💕
Should the thermometer touch the bottom of the pot or be in the center of the melted sugar?
Hi Lou. Thank you for watching. Just above the bottom of the pan is fine but not actually touching the bottom. Good luck with your candy!
What is the dropped used for? To measure the flavor accuratly?
Yes, I use orange in some of my chicken and beef dishes but only need a drop or two. For this recipe however, you will not be using a dropper 😌
what is the best type of food coloring
Hi, thank you for your comment. I used regular food coloring that is used for baking however, I know there are safer dyes on the market now. I would check out LorAnn Oils online (they do not pay me, I just like the company and products)and see their options. It’s candy making season here so I will be doing the same! 🙋🏻♀
Have you got any advice on stopping it being too sticky when putting in packets? I made a small batch of lollies today and even after dusting them with icing sugar they still seems to make a mess. They’re for my friends wedding favours 😅
Hi Helen! I experience this situation in high humidity, If I make hard candy/boiled sweets/lollies in summer I crank my air conditioning up because humidity is sugars nemesis. In the U.S. some lightly dust their candy in corn starch. Another reason for sticky candy is if it isn’t cooked long enough. I’m not sure where you are located however, if it’s humid I can just about bet that is your culprit. I have read that you can cook your candy for an additional 2 degrees higher to make up for the humidity outside. I have not tried this myself so I cannot vouch for it personally but wish you luck if you give it another whirl. 💕
@@howtocooktocope7558 thank you for this! I’m in the UK, the weather isn’t the best at the moment but can get quite humid at home through the day, I didn’t actually think of that! I’ll give another batch a whirl today and cook it a little longer too. Pray this works 👏
@@helenplace8190 Good luck! 💕🙏🏻
@@howtocooktocope7558 cornstarch will work, you can also sand them in sugar, if you want a sour patch type taste sand them in a mixture of citric acid and sugar
@@johnnyace1300 Thank you, good to know!
Hello
Was wondering if it is possible to let my candy cool in room temperature or should be put in the freezer
Hi and thank you so much for watching. I always cool my candy at room temperature. I typically don’t make it in the summer months as the humidity makes it tricky to keep from being tacky. Keep it in a cool dry area for best results. 🙋🏻♀
@@howtocooktocope7558 for how long should I keep the candy in a cool dry area for heat results
As long as you keep it away from humidity and moisture, your candy should last months.@@oleshi2691
Do you need to oil your silicone mold?
Many people suggest it however, I never use spray or oil and my candies come out perfect. As long as you let it cool completely they should pop right out.
I have 2 cinnamon flavor bottles, i have 1 apple flavor bottle, 2 pairs of watermelon flavor, and 2 Strawberry flavor bottles from them
Those are some of my favorites! I add Apple to any baked apple dessert to kick up the flavor! Thank you for commenting ☺️
no citric acid? doesn't it taste all boring?
Well I suppose it depends on your definition of boring. Citric acid makes the candy sour, I am not a fan of sour candy but my husband loves it. If you want sour candy you can easily toss these in citric acid and sugar afterwards!
Walmart sold cinnamon peppermint together like starlight mints but very strong during the holidays years ago but I can no longer find them. Any idea how to make my own the ones that are sold aren’t strong enough. Thanks
Thank you for your comment, I just looked those up because they sound amazing but I have never heard of that blend! I do not know how but I am now curious! I found the ones you were referring to online… www.walmart.com/ip/Peppermint-Starlight-Mints-1-pound-Peppermint-Star-Light-Starlite-Hard-Candy/102661513?athcpid=102661513&athpgid=AthenaItempage&athcgid=null&athznid=si&athieid=v0&athstid=CS004&athguid=imzSoO3pPqAFaeWPXBRTsio0lBRW1wkBGCw9&athancid=null&athena=true
Thanks for your reply but they aren’t the same. These were the right amount of peppermint and cinnamon I even contacted Walmart with no response from them. I have tried many different candies and none were the same.Thanks for trying to help..
I sent the above comment earlier this year and found out that Brach’s was the one that made the candy that Walmart sold and stopped making it in 2011. Im going to experiment with these flavors.
Ive been having a tough time when making candy with lemon extract. The flavor just never comes through and im not sure why.
I never have luck with extract in candy, I always use oil for a much stronger kick! I really appreciate your feedback. LorAnn has a great lemon oil! (I am not paid by them 😆)
3:28 did you get that at Dollar Tree?????
No but Michaels has them and Michaels always has coupons 😍
What is the thermometer reading (F) for hard crack stage? You just say hard crack stage.
I can’t believe I missed that important information! My apologies. Hard crack is between 300 and 310 Fahrenheit, I never go beyond 305 or my candy starts to have a bit of a burnt flavor.
Can they be use to flavor gummy bears ? Someone please let me know . Thanks.
Absolutely! I use their orange oil in my orange sesame chicken! I have also used them in gummies 😋
@@howtocooktocope7558
Thank you sooo much and God bless.
i followed this recipe meticulously, and my candy has a touch of a bitterness to it. 2 batches have had this that i have tried. is this normal? is it from the syrup?
Bitterness can occur when your sugar burns. I keep my stove on medium low but everyone’s stove is different of course. I also make my candy in a heavy bottom pan because the heat disperses more evenly. I’m sorry your candy didn’t turn out this time. Please let me know if you try again.

How much days this candy are presreve
As long as you keep them stored in an air tight container away from moisture and humidity it will last for months! Thank you for watching. 🙌
Great video~ :D Also lavender flavored candy would be interesting to try and make~ o.o
Thank you 😊 Lavender flavored candy sounds amazing!
How much days it's will good
As long as you keep it in an airtight container and store it in low humidity you should yummy candy for a few months.
I just tried this LorAnn recipe and it came out brown and burnt even after pulling at 300
I’m so sorry your candy burned. Perhaps your stove runs a little warmer and you may want to try turning the heat down a bit. You also want to make sure your thermometer is working properly as I had one that was off and kept ruining my candy batches. Please let me know how your next batch turns out. 🙏🏻
Thanks for this wonderful video! I ordered an oz of LorAnn’s cherry oil. How do you measure a dram?
Have you ever tried using a sugar free sweetener such as erythritol or xylitol for those with sugar restrictions? I would love to have a recipe for that! 🙏
1/16 of an ounce is how it is defined. 🧐 As for using substitute sweeteners, I have not yet ventured however, my lifestyle should incorporate some alternatives! Thank you for your comment. 💗
Why is my flavor only on the outside of my candy?
Oh no! Do you mind me asking what flavoring you used for your candy? I give my candy a really good stir before pouring as well to make sure it’s thoroughly incorporated. Please let me know!
@@howtocooktocope7558 I used cinnamon, but this is the first time I made it and I don't think I stirred it enough. I was kind of nervous because I kept hearing how potent the steam would be, so I made a quick stir and poured real quick lol!
@@rhondafurrow2712 Cinnamon oil mist can burn for sure! I always put my extractor fan on with cinnamon. I would bet that’s what happened. I really hope you give it another try. I want to celebrate your success!
@@howtocooktocope7558 I am going to try watermelon flavor either tonight or tomorrow, I will be sure to stir more this time lol! Thanks for your feedback and I will let you know how it goes.
@How to Cook to Cope Ok, so I tried the watermelon and it came out pretty good except the flavor wasn't there. I mean, there was a hint of watermelon flavor but not very strong at all, It was throughout the candy not just on the outside like the cinnamon was so I stirred it up correctly this time! Do you find that some of the flavors are weaker than others?
Can u mail me like a pound of these candy plz lol
😂💕
They aren't hardening it's been three hours -.-
I’m sorry you are having this issue. Are you using a candy thermometer? Typically that would be a result of not cooking long enough
