Candy Making For Dummies - Free eBook

When my wife, Janet, and I started our candy business, we had no idea where to find answers to basic candy-making questions. We were in the candy business — buying candy and reselling it to our customers — for three years before we actually made any homemade candy. We gradually picked up recipes here and there, but we found no comprehensive source on how to make candy in small batches.

Over the years, we began to learn a few things about candy making and eventually operated a real candy kitchen where we made several products in public view. But we still wanted more variety in our homemade items. By asking questions, reading what little information I could find, and attending a couple of short candy schools, I eventually learned a great deal more, and my stores now manufacture what’s probably the widest assortment of candies in Georgia. Because I was unable to find any resources when I was a novice candy maker, I’m pleased to have the opportunity to write this book and give you the chance to make a vast array of very tasty candies in your home. 

Many of the recipes this book contains are scaled-down versions of, or variations of, my candy shops’ best recipes. These candies are suitable to give as gifts or for your family to enjoy as special treats. The only way to enjoy this book (and the candies in it) is by getting into the kitchen and trying your hand at making some wonderful candy. Before I made my first batch all those years ago, I was terrified, but I found out I had nothing to fear. So have fun, and enjoy the candy making!
