Can you use this to make hard candy

I don't really know, I never tried. I am not sure what the maximum temperature usage for this item is compared to the required boiling point for sugar to turn into hard candy. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. Please be aware that even though the item is reasonably priced it will take a few weeks to arrive because the seller is not in this country.

I have never tried, but I would assume that you could if you kept your sugar below 300 degrees???

Not sure but I used the molds for peppermint bark instead of cracking the bark into pieces.

I only use it for cheeses. They aren't as hard as carrots , radishes etc. I think it would be s little difficult. Really not made for it.. Great for cheese though

Yes you can use it on Candy or Maple Syrup. Basically any liquid or solid that you need to get the temperature of. The Temp Range is -40 to +450. I know Maple Syrup making is quite the detailed process so hopefully someone with experience on that end can weigh in here. We have had plenty of people use the thermometer for candy making and it works perfectly

Yes. It would! We recently used it to make chocolates in molds. I mostly use it to pour hard candy into molds.

Yes, you can use it to make candy, but you cannot leave it in the pot as the candy is cooking. Insert it and hold it for a few seconds and then remove it.

Yes. Any candy small and round works. Jelly beans, M&M;'s, Reece's Pieces, gum balls, etc. I love this machine. It was one of my favorite Amazon purchases!

We use this as a tea. I don't know much about candy making but it might work. I would think that an artificial flavor would most likely be stronger tasting as this is 100% natural. This product does contain 25% alcohol.

I am not sure - it is plastic so I am guessing not if your mixture is really not. The plastic is not really super thin, but making hard candy, like anise, etc. would just melt it, I'm sure

We only use hard candy instead of sugar. However, one must not overload the machine. Think of it as squeezing oranges for orange juice. You can only get a little at a time, but patience pays off. My advice would be to make small batches and slowly load the cone as the spun sugar accumulates. Also, make sure the machine is good and warmed up initially.

Wilton makes one you can use for cookie dough (and hard candy, chocolate, jello, etc). See it here: Wilton 570-0118 8 Cavity Round Silicone Shot Mold, GreenHope that helps!

Yes, this chocolate is perfect for candy making. I love the taste because they don't use wax in their chocolate. I've made chocolate covered cherries with this chocolate and get rave reviews each time.

I suppose, haven't tried. Anything that can be poured into the molds would work. However, these are super flexible so making anything from something that is watery, you'll likely spill it. you'd need to freeze your butter to be hard or you will deform the stick.

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.

Hard candy kinda ... as long as its completely crushed up ... as close to sugar as possible. generic hard candy works pretty well, Jolly rancher kinda ok... gummy HECK NO!!!! Make sense?

I used it to make both chocolate and poured sugar lollies, but the poured sugar does cloud the plastic (but not distort it). I made the poured sugar first and then the chocolate ones. Both turned out fine. You should fill to the VERY top though, because the stick placement is kind of high in the back of the lolly.

Yes!!! It makes a large amount of cotton candy qickly. Definitely worth your money.

If the clay is of the same consistency as candy melts, it may work. However , although candy melts firm solid, they are not rock hard as clay may become,
