Candy Making for Beginners

Anyone who has wanted to make sweets at home can start here. This cookbook walks first-time confectioners through dozens of recipes, from classic fudge and honey caramels to sour gummy worms and peppermint patties, with a clear path from beginner to confident candy maker.

The recipes are chosen for newcomers. None require specialized equipment, so a typical home kitchen is enough. The selection covers a wide range of tastes and occasions, giving readers a full candy bowl to share.

For those who would rather skip the stove, a section of no-cook candies relies only on mixing and blending, which also makes it a good project for children to help with. Dessert lovers will find it a useful addition to their cookbook shelf.
