To you kids at home, DO NOT PLAY WITH MELTED SUGAR. While in culinary school one of my baking teachers had this nasty story. She had a lovely girl in her class who was about a week off from getting married, and it was sugar week...Girly was making some candy and got some molten sugar on her hand and panics a little. For some reason homegirl used her MOUTH to clean it off her hand and ended up inhaling the molten sugar. The sugar then burned a hole through her trachea and they had to call off that wedding for several years. Sugar gets to a point thats HOTTER than boiling water when melted. PLEASE dont not play with molten sugar unless you are an adult and know wtf you're doing.
Also people be careful cause things blow up. It happened to my grandma making caramel or something like that, boiling sugar part for sure. She ended up going to the hospital and missing Christmas. She was making some Christmas time dessert goodies like always, all different kinds. Rest her soul ❤
To get hard crack crunch you need to heat the sugar mixture to 310°F (154°C). At that point take it off the heat - don’t allow to burn or it will taste terrible. This gives you candy canes, lollipops, or anything else you want to make into rock hard candy. I’m a candy-cane maker, and I watch my thermometer very carefully to get to this hard candy stage
Sugar has to be a precise temperature before it will cool and harden. If you want hard crack stage, that usually takes about an hour on the stove and constant stirring. When you’re making it, dip a spoon or something in and then let that drizzle into a glass of water. If it goes hard and it breaks when you bend it, you’ve hit hard crack stage. Reference: Betty Crocker Cook Book; I make peanut brittle every year for Christmas.
This comment makes me crave a candied apple so much right now. Just gotta wait until the Volksfest in July next year or make one myself. That's probably gonna be a huge mess.
@@jesmey4902 I completely forgot about those, I just gotta go to the stand with the candied almonds. Was looking forward to the christmas markets last year before they were banned last minute. That won't happen this year fortunately.
Alton Brown once said that people don’t like candy corn because it’s supposed to be made with corn syrup, the bags you buy at the store are made with corn starch and it’s not as good. I would be interested in trying it homemade to see if there is a difference.
@@imadoge5036 huh? But this is not an accurate comparison it’s the same as saying it’s supposed to be made with sugar but it’s made with flour that’s why you don’t like it. These are two different ingredients that don’t provide the same function. If it was saying corn syrup vs high fructose corn syrup then it would make sense because they both make things sweet but they are different products with different levels of sweetness
Yeah you can't just replace syrup (sugar) with starch. Those are 2 vastly different things, while I don't doubt that Alton Brown did once say something about candy corn I believe that you've misquoted him. EDIT... OK, so I found the original quote. It seems that the mass produced store bought candy corn is made from corn syrup, corn starch, edible wax and food colouring. Real home made candy corn has ingredients like this.... *4 1/2 ounces confectioners' sugar (about 1 1/4 cups) *1/2 ounce nonfat dry milk (about 6 1/2 teaspoons) *1/4 teaspoon kosher salt *3 1/2 ounces granulated sugar (about 1/2 cup) *3 3/4 ounces light corn syrup (about 1/3 cup) *2 1/2 tablespoons H20 *2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature *1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract *2 or 3 drops each yellow and orange gel paste food coloring And yes, looking at these ingredients I have little doubt that both the flavour and texture of the home made candy corn will be vastly superior.
@@madabouthollyoaks411 I don't think I have candy corn in my country, so I asumed that the main commentor is right since he probably read that they are made with corn starch, therefor getting the way they are. I felt like it would make sense, but it was probably not researched enough, making my argument invalid in this case. Apologies
Candy corn is the type of candy where I eat a handful and I’m good until next Halloween. 😂 I randomly bought some during summer once and it felt odd to eat it then.
LISA! Melted candy corn + Peanut butter = HOMEMADE BUTTERFINGER. It's been my favorite candy recipe to make during fall, make the filling and dip into chocolate and there ya have it
That sounds really gross (to me) but also really interesting! I'm commenting and liking 👍in the hope that she will see your comment and try to make it!
it’s probably not crunchy because you mixed it. you don’t want to mix melted candy being used as a shell it will come out sticky instead. also consider the additives. that’s probably 50% of it too.
To me, it's not underrated (seeing how it's usually one of the number one Halloween candies) but definitely over hated. I always get called a freak when I say I like it lol
I always wondered what this snack tasted like, mainly because they're a very popular food in America and live in ireland. I was finally able to try them; and they're just pure sugar, I'm not even going to act like I'm surprised.
I'm not from America, so my question is: Why do people in america love these so much and others hate it? And what does it taste like? Is it fruity? Does it taste like.. actual corn? 😅
What a silly question. Do you think EVERYONE in the U.S would like the same thing??? Everyone is an individual 🤦🏾♀️. I can see why you are the girl no one really likes!
@@apara2005 it’s just a question they’re probably wondering why there are two very different opinions on something that seems like everyone would like it. Like most Americans like pizza but there are a few who hate it so I think they’re just wondering something similar to that cilantro debate tasting like soap to others and tasting good to others
@@apara2005 Why are you so damn rude? What's wrong with you? I asked it because I'm curious of course. I've only heard good or bad things about these. People either love it or hate it- no in-between or at least I've never heard or seen it. And I didn't said that EVERYONE like the same thing? Read my question carefully 😂 how are you so mad about a question lol
To easily melt candy corn in the microwave, put it in a microwave-safe bowl and add a small amount of water. One tablespoon for every 16 pieces of candy is a good rule of thumb. Stir the candy corn to make sure every piece gets coated with water.
You really be doing the most but I enjoy it. My wife is picking up ideas from your channel too and so far pretty good but we mix our own styles into it
Candy corn has gelatin so you'd probably have to add more sugar to get a hard candy consistency. Also a candy thermometer to make sure it gets to the hard ball stage. But idk if you want to put that much energy into it. 😅😅
I don't think candy corn can crunch unless you're heating the sugar to hard crack. Maybe it even has additives in there that help prevent solidity considering the softness of the original product
Candy corn is in my top 3 of candies that I LOVE (got a bag in the fridge now) 😂😂😂 I can honestly say I don’t appreciate this video but I can’t stop laughing and watching it
For crunch, might be best to add corn syrup to the melted candy and cook until you get the right consistency when dripped into water. Kinda like when making candied apples or something.
Melting candy corn feels like the dark arts of the kitchen, we’ve strayed far from the light with this one lol 😂

This would probably be really good with green apples. That way you have the candy corn flavour and it’s still fall-themed, but a little less sweet

I love the regular candy corn and the caramel version and the candy pumpkins you get in the Brach's Harvest mix.
I always wondered what this snack tasted like, mainly because they're a very popular food in America and live in ireland. I was finally able to try them; and they're just pure sugar, I'm not even going to act like I'm surprised.
And thats why I eat it in what I call low doses

As a candy corn lover: it's best served with a salty snack such as popcorn and or pretzels. The salt cuts the sweetness and it is delicious 😋

Candy corn is a god tier candy, legendary, nearly mythical rarity, CANDY CORN SOLOS YOUR FAVORITE CANDY IDC
To make it crunch you have to heat it really hot. But that would be dangerous with water in the mix. Please be careful.
You just have to melt the candy to a specific temperature to get a hard crack or soft crack finish when it dries :)
Mix it with peanut butter after melted, shape and dip in chocolate- it’s a butterfinger dupe.
Try citric acid and candy corn together Melt the candy corn Add citric acid and Then dip a candy Corn get the In the mixtureTo get the crunch factor
