Title: Cotton Candy
Post by: buckbuck1 on March 21, 2014, 09:09:23 pm
I recently got a cotton candy maker and it is phenomenal! I love it. I love experimenting and making different flavors. I get to make it out of hard candies. I can't wait to try to make cotton candy with jolly ranchers. I would reccommend anyone getting one! It's soo worth it. when you have the taste for it, make it yourself! no need to go out and buy any.

I like getting cotton candy when at the carnival, but it's just a special treat to me. My family needs to be encouraged to eat healthier and something like this (I'm assuming isn't small) will just take up more room along with other things my family hardly uses (including a juicer).

How do you make it from hard candy?  I thought you made it from the sugar crystals?  I would love to have one.  I love me some cotton candy.

That would be interesting to see. I never heard of a home unit. The flavors are something Tha I wonder how you do. Do you use extracts or syrups? What colors do you make? I do like the taste of cotton candy and the way it melts in your mouth.

I have heard of the home units but who knew you could put other candies in there like Jolly Ranchers? I guess they melt? I am thinking of getting one of these just to try it out. My kids would love it.  ;) :thumbsup:

I haven't eaten cotton candy in years. I'll have to check this out.

Don't any one of you think that maybe that's a little too much sugar? I agree that it's a nice treat
occasionally, but wouldn't a person be tempted to have it too often if they could  make it
at home?  :party:

Don't mean to be a party pooper, but I would personally vote no on buying a cotton candy
maker. However, I bet the kids would love it. Still not very good for them, and I think they'd onverindulge too if they could make it any old time.
  ::)

I love cotton candy. Especially the blue kind! It always reminds me of going to the carnival when I was younger!

I'd like to have a cotton candy maker but I have limited room in my kitchen. Do tell us how the Jolly Ranchers work out.

If you google them or look on amazon you can probably find them.  I have seen them in the novelty magazines that come in the mail for less than $50.  Having one in my home would probably be a bad idea.  And to whomever said it melts in your mouth....yes it does...and runs down to your hips and clings for dear life. lol

That sounds awesome, but I don't really need any more things that are unhealthy in my life.  I'm working really hard to lose the pounds I need to first so something like that would probably set me back.  It would be awesome though for those days when you really just want a small piece.

sounds like fun love cotton candy also you can sometimes buy it in the stores but then they'll stop selling it. Of all the bad things for you will grab that when i see it.

That would be a fun piece of kitchen equipment to pull out for children's birthday parties or family reunions.  I too love the childlike whimsy cotton candy delivers but too much of a good thing wouldn't make it special anymore.

Walmart has it in canisters usually around different holidays.  And sometimes randomly.  And there is a Golden Corral about an hour from where I live and they have it on their dessert bar.  Oh yum!  And it is spun fresh.  They only make a few at a time so it is always fresh!

I still remember the first time as a kid having cotton candy. I never liked it then and still don't like it now.

My sister bought my nieces one for Christmas.  They love it.  I never knew that you could make cotton candy from hard candy until they got it.  It is neat!  I wish I would have had one when I was little!!  We always have a cotton candy machine for our VBS kids.

I like cotton candy, but I don't think I would buy one for the house.  Where in the world would you keep it? My grandkids would have me making cotton candy everytime they come over. :bad:

I like cotton candy, but I prefer to eat it on a rare occasion at a special place.  I'm bad enough with sweets as it is, I don't need another option to tempt me.

I ate once out of curiosity. I noticed that cotton candy has too much sugar. I amm trying to cut down on sugary stuff.

Cotton Candy was good when I was younger and I loved getting it at the fair.  Now that I am more mature (smile) it's a bit too sweet for me.  The different colors are so pretty and it's so light and airy.  For everyone who can still eat it, enjoy.   :)

I like cotton candy, but I don't think I would buy a machine to make it. My boys don't even like it. So it would be more than enough cotton candy for me to eat. Not a good idea. :-)

I love cotton candy to a point. I made so much of cotton candy while working for a carnival that I am sick of looking at it. Believe me when you work for a carnival you do not want to see cottoncandy

That's pretty neat.  It has been quite a few years since I have had any.  To be honest, I probably wouldn't eat any now as I am concerned with my health.  So you enjoy one for both of us!!!

To me, cotton candy, is something that makes a carnival a carnival.  I don't even buy it and eat it, there.  My system requires me to reach for healthy food.  I know, it doesn't sound like much fun but some of us have to focus on our health so we don't have the luxury of consuming things like that.

It has been eons since I had cotton candy.  The last time I had some, it was at the fair, and I haven't been to a fair in years.  Thanks for sharing, but I don't think I would go that far. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow:

I love cotton candy! We used to have a cotton candy maker when we were younger, and my dad used to make us cotton candy. But then I think it broke, and we had to trash it. Now as an adult, I should totally get one and re-live all the memories! Have fun with yours!

I did not know you could purchase cotton candy makers. That sounds very interesting especially making cott0n candy out of Jolly Ranchers.. how about anise candy that would taste interesting..
