can you use this form for hard candy (maple candy)?

I think the manufacturer of the mold should address this. I used the WILTON Candy Melts and you don't heat that very hot. When I make hard candy, the liquid is very hot and I would be very concerned the mold would melt.

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

It works just fine for me. I followed the instructions exactly and use the wand that comes with it. I don't have a trick really, I'm sorry. If you can get it to work, it worked really well. We only do 1-2 pieces of candy at a time as well

It kinda depends on how syrup-ey you like your sno-cones and how big you make em too. I'm a big fan of the syrup and got at least 15 out of each of the flavors i'v used so far.

We use it just fit cotton candy. The instruction booklet does not mention hard candy

None because it's decorational and doesn't taste good. Some of the candy came broken in pieces so couldn't even use for decoration.

It can do gum balls, nuts, m&m;'s, etc.... Any bulk candy really. To give you an idea of candy size and how much it gives, I get about 30 m&m;'s with it set to drop the maximum it can with one quarter. So far I have no problems at all with these machines.

Absolutely. I even have a resource for a great recipe: This is from SAVEUR magazine: http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Cinnamon-Hard-Candies

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?

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!

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

You can put different kinds of nuts in the bulk candy pods and it works quite well. You cannot use the gum ball pod for smaller items such as nuts, m&m;'s, skittles etc as they will just fall thru.

Sorry I do not know if it can be used for candy or deep fry. We only use it for smoking mea.

According to he description, yes it can. I have mainly used it for candy, but as long as you don't go over the temps on scale, I see no problem.

I would not suggest that you use baking emulsions to make hard candy. It makes a wonderful addition to any baked good. It gives a strong, robust flavor and because they are not alcohol based, the flavor won't bake out like with traditional extracts. Bakery emulsions can be used in any baked goods like cookies, cakes, sweet breads, and pastries, frostings, glazes, fondant, and fillings.

No. It doesn't work at all . From I have bought this item it hasn't worked with anything at all. Syrup, hard candy, cotton candy sugar u name it.......

Yes. This is a high quality, heavy duty cutter. I haven't done sweets in it, though I'm certain it will handle them.

If you are making hard caramel it works, but soft caramel will not work. It will stick and won't hold its shape.
