Candy Making

Both beginning and experienced candy makers can easily find a candy to make that will suit their skill level.  Remember not to be too ambitious when you're new to this craft.  Try starting with the easiest recipe, like rock candy.  And then when you get used to boiling a sugar solution, measuring its temperature, etc., you can try to tackle the more difficult candies like peanut brittle or fudge.  By doing this, you’ll learn the little secrets it takes to succeed.  For example, you should always make candy on a cool, dry day.  Candy is made from sugar, which  pulls moisture from the air.  So if you tried candy making on a warm, sticky day, this would make the cooking time increase.  Also the sugar substance should boil, not simmer.  Otherwise the candy will not harden properly.  It is these little things that will make you successful at candy making.
