Can this be used in the hard candy Nostalgia cotton candy machine?

Yes, that's the main reason I purchased the Nostalgia cotton candy machine.

Yes, it actually makes more cotton candy and heats up faster and better than the two pieces of hard candy required if you choose to. I purchase the pink vanilla too my daughter and her friends love it, not too sweet. Holds up great in the cabinet doesn't get hard or clump.Best prices on Amazon in party stores are $25.

Yes that is what I use it in. It tastes like the kind you get at the festivals or amusement parks. The hard candy cotton candy maker you usually have to crush up the candy to get it to work the work is taken out of it and lasts. I still have a container of this. I love it. It's economical

No, definately not. It is too small, and can only make up to 10 cotton candy before it needs cleaning. But it is perfect for private use.

yes. I change different candy all the time. I use the gumball one for peanut m&m;

Yes, that's what I used. I added food coloring also. I had the best luck using a double boiler with the candy melts. The texture was more consistent & flowed into the molds. Make sure the molds are thoroughly cooled before trying to remove candy from molds. Have fun!!

I would see no reason why you couldn't. There is a little mechanism in it to adjust for size of candy or gum.

I suppose you could, if it was exactly the same size or smaller as the one that comes with the machine. I don't know why you would want to though..

I think that you can. It is a bit more like brown sugar in that it's more moist than white sugar, but it would probably work. You can look online for how to use the "Ball Test" when making candy, or you can use a candy thermometer to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature as per your recipe. I tried once to make candy on a very humid, overcast day & it did not firm up, so I'd recommend making the candy on a clear day :)

I was going to use it fondant only or modeling chocolate so I'm not sure. I would think it would since it is made of silicone. It is made to withstand heat .

there is no trick I am so upset with this item I just want to chuck it in trash but my sister bought one first and hers is on steriodes or something and she has no problems and if we put both machines side by side there is only one diffrence hers works and mine does not. The cotton candy machine does not work either. Sorry your luck is as bad as mine. Janet

I really don't know, as I have never made hard candy lollipops. These are clear plastic, and fairly sturdy. What is specific to hard candy molds so that I may better answer your question?

yes, I use this thermometer for all of my candy and it turns out great. Due to the plastic housing you can not rest it against the pot as stated below.

I used them for chocolate and they came out great. But I'm sure hard candy would work just as well

I don't know why not. Just make sure that it is completely dry before you put it back in the machine.

I'm not 100% sure! but I believe 1 batch of hard candy goes in 2-3 molds. With these, I like to pour them, let them cool them use water and put them back to back to make large jolly rancher-esque candies.

This and the durgol are safe to use in just about any machine. As mentioned in the previous answer the manufacturer recommends you only use their decalcified.

yes, you can use hard candy but the quality and volume isn't that great. if you're using hard candy, I suggest crunching it up.

you have to supply your own sugar. also, when you want to make the cones for the cotton candy to go around just take an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper and roll it diagnally and tape it.
