This company at candymakersupplies.com has everything you could need to make candy and other things! Everybody knows that making candy has traditionally been a big part of the holidays for many families. I remember grandma talking about making potato candy and sugar sticks. Today even with the fast pace of society some people still slow down for candy making and enjoy the process of making something different. I've enjoyed making suckers, glass candy, divinity, coconut covered candies are especially pretty when combined with candied cherries for holidays! These folks have just about everything you could ask for to help you with your candy making.
Some of the supplies I've had the pleasure of using from these fine folks include:
Hobby brushes that come in a set of 5 different sizes and are used to paint soaps with our soap paints or to paint candies with melted dipping wafers.
Their Jumbo sized hi-heat spatula which is great because it doesn't tend to melt like the average spatula's will.
A stainless steel double boiler which is just the right size for melting chocolate and creating sauces! We were dipping cookies in chocolate and this was the perfect size at 1.5 quarts.
The candy thermometer which is a must have for making special treats and is a nice sized item.
They have several oils and I have the peppermint essential oil which is great to make mints and stick candy. Peppermint oil is also claimed to be good as an Anti-Inflammatory, Antimicrobial, Antiviral, Astringent and Expectorant. These are 100% Pure, Undiluted Oils.
The clear fancy candies mold is great for making those small dainty chocolate candies for holidays! They looked so pretty and they are so easy to use. Just put the melted candy in them and chill for a little bit then tap the mold on the cabinet and tip them out! How easy! This mold makes 11 candies.
A christmas tree lollipop mold which my kids really enjoyed working with too. It is a 3" christmas tree, multi-cavity, one-sided lollipop mold with 5 cavities.
Homogenized creamy salted peanut butter which comes in a 5 lb. tub and is wonderful to make anything that uses Peanut butter or just sandwiches.
Paper lollipop sticks. These are well made and sturdy and work very well with the lollipop candy molds! The little ones love to push the sticks down into the lollipops!
Their chocolate chips that come in a 5 lb. bag and are great for melting to make candy and chocolate suckers! They are so good that I have to make more than one batch when I use them. Very rich and delicious.
A really cute snowman lollipop mold which is also great!. These molds are fun to make candy in. This mold is a 2.75" snowman, multi-cavity, one-sided lollipop mold with 5 cavities.
