How to Make Hard Candy

Christmas Hard Candy Kit

LorAnn hard candy flavor oils has created the most amazing and mouth watering flavors.  

I've tried multitudes of them and they always please. This is a great product delivering on the anticipation of old fashioned hard tack.

Hard Tack is an expression of days gone by. It's what my elders called hard candy.

They would powder it in powdered sugar, so it wouldn't stick together, and seal it up in a screw top jar for the holidays.

This is a Christmas holiday tradition my family loves.

The instructions are included with the candy flavor oil. Just follow the easy instructions included for the best hard Christmas candy ever.

Candy Thermometer

I love this thermometer for it's storage and carrying sleeve, the temperature range and the fact the stem is stored in an antibacterial pen of sorts.

The secret to making any great homemade candy is cooking it to the correct temperature. You must have a good thermometer to do this. Get the temperature right and you'll have the perfect holiday treat.

Chat about secret family recipes for homemade Christmas candy

DerdriuMarrinerDec 21, 2024

This wizzley draws me every Advent through Christmas to Epiphany because of the generous images, information and product lines.

Your first subheading, Chocolate pretzels, appeals to me even as pretzels appear with bananas and peanut butter among foods that I avoid.

But this time, that subheading causes me to consider something: do you ever do chocolate potato chips?

katiem2Nov 20, 2014

Debbie, Great idea, what a great way to get quality diabetic chocolates.

DebbieNov 16, 2014

I never tried these, but my husband's family would make the dietetic chocolate covered pretzels for their dad.

katiem2Nov 16, 2014

sandyspider, I love divinity too but find it hard to make. You will have to teach me how.

sandyspiderNov 16, 2014

My favorite is making fudge and caramel. I do love divinity as well. These candy modes and supplies look real good.

Whitemoss,

Do you have a tutorial article as to how to make these delicious candies? If so send me the link, I'd love to add it to this article so those finding themselves here could also find a few good candy recipes. :)

whitemossOct 31, 2012

I make chocolate truffles and chocolate peppermint creams. I've made them so many times!

katiem2Aug 31, 2012

Brenda, I know right? Start your own little candy party. Invite friends both new and old, invite a neighbor or two, candy parties are a blast. Making candy is always more fun with several people.

BrendaReevesAug 31, 2012

I miss making candy and other goodies with my children so much. Why do they have to grow up?

katiem2Aug 28, 2012

Hey girls, making candy is so much fun with kids and adults. My Mom always made the most amazing candy, it is def a family tradition.

MarieAug 27, 2012

Not done much in the way of candy making, Katie. This looks like great fun and if I get time I'd love to have a go at making some before Christmas.

dustytoesAug 26, 2012

The Wilton pretzel molds look like fun! I like that idea. My two oldest sons loves to cook and bake, they would have enjoyed trying this as kids.

katiem2Aug 24, 2012

Sheri, Candy making parties are especially fun with kids. They may use or portion of the candy as gifts for teachers. This teach them the value of money and services. It's a much more enriching process than Mom or Dad shopping for gifts.

Sheri_OzAug 24, 2012

Can't chat about this as we never made homemade candy, but wanted to say that this looks like a great idea for a party - a candy making party.
