How to Make Hard Candy at Home Easy with a few added guests

[@air9music]

Been coming back to this video for over 4 yrs now, such a fabulous simple reference point for Candy making 😊

[@bees288]

"You are probably thinking 'has he lost his marbles?' The answer is, Yes!" Gorgeous words

[@bro2603]

Yay, Goats!!

[@Mark-yb1sp]

I made this recipe 3 times and it’s the best one on KZbin. His simple steps are the key. But you gotta keep stirring or you’ll burn it. But it turns out really well. Enjoy.

[@djterry1218]

I made this candy at Christmas. I made 4 different flavors. I had not seen this video before today but you made it exactly the same way I did!

[@williamsaums1869]

THIS IS AN AWSOME RECIEPT i have a large family and this is great all 8 kids shut up and helped out today im thinking christmas now candy and nuts talk about time warp because i remember when my grand mother would make candies and geathered nuts from the last harvest on the nut farm and that was our stocking stuffers

[@aselrahc]

"We're gonna dust it with powdered sugar." -throws spoonfuls of sugar in piles on candy- LOL

[@Pokekid2017]

Made these tonight with grape Lorrane's. I didn't need any food coloring. Turned out dark purple and great!!! Thanks for the recipe.

[@jamiegillies7509]

My six year old loved this video! Last Christmas I made ribbon candy and candy canes, it's similar but as it starts to cool you work the candy and shape it.

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

Jamie Gillies Sweet!... no pun intended...

[@erickacolden692]

Love the way you make it sound easy and fun. Not so scared to try by the way you make it sound fun thanks for sharing

[@TheGoffLife]

I hope you were able to make your candy . Don’t let it scare you ! It’s so fun .

[@lifestationexpresslinda9425]

Nice! I like to use the square molds from Hobby Lobby to make little "jewels" and no powered sugar needed. No thermometer needed either, just cook about 7 minutes and test in cold water to cold crack stage. And yes, I lick the spoon after it cools! :) 50 cents, no, those flavors are almost $2 a piece now. :) Love the animals too!

[@louise8781]

I made my candies while watching your guiding video and it was really helpful!! Your instruction is clear and straight forward, simple to follow! I also got my own experience while making them. It seems like the more water I put the harder the candy dries. So for the third time I put less water but more syrup and sugar, then the candy became very quick to dry. I also put in different food colors. However it seems difficult to make them into shapes so I ended up with random shapes like porcelain fragments of!! My friends love them!! Thank you so much for your video and your assistant. p.s I love those cute animals pop up sometimes~~~

[@RizzReacts174]

How do you clean the utensils you use that the candy was in

[@itsthatonechickagaincallth5998]

You see, I never really had grandparents.. My grandmother on my mom's side called me grossvand overweight when I was like 7.. It almost made me anorexic, thank god my parents were perceptive of it early on. But again, I never really had grandparents. But when I stumbled on this channel, I feel like I finally understand the whole grandparent thing. Honestly, he's so sweet and goofy and I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[@elevated2552]

I put 7 grams of marijuana extract in the recipe ( legal here!). Very tasty pain relief to help get off opiates after surgery. Thanks for the video.

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

Yummmmmmy

[@connorbennett5665]

What im here for🤫🤫🤫

[@666LucifersLady]

Awesome idea thanks!

[@kseniakoltovich2877]

Holland? Isn’t it legal there?

[@CTEWILLIEB]

Exactly why im here 😂🤣

[@marigeobrien]

Thank you! I love licorice but not soft chewy licorice. So I decided to make my own with a little Anise extract and black food coloring. ;) Can't wait to make it.

[@magalliguzman5490]

Thank you so so much!. I used to pay $26.99 plus shipping for a 5lb bag of white rock candy to decorate my Geode Cakes. I did not place mine in the freezer cause I was afraid I would get condensation. And, I also used just a few drops of a clear lemon flavor cause I need to keep it clear white. Thanks once again

[@floraflower946]

That bunny though XD SO CUTEE!

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

+Flora Flower rock on ;)

[@Mark-yb1sp]

A very simple recipe. Thanks ! And we love the humor.

[@bro2603]

I've watched this video 3 times before making medicated hard candy; now adopted into the process of a sku in one of my edible product. Thank you

[@l.dougherty7573]

Just a hint (from another KZbinr's recipe): put parchment paper on the cookie sheer before pouring the candy - easier to remove for the breakup!

[@marigeobrien]

Thank you. I was wondering what the best method was... I was also thinking of cooking spray but that might ruin the flavor.

[@lindabrown7374]

Loved the critters in the kitchen. I usually have a few furry helpers in mine when cooking. Think I'll make some of this candy for Easter.

[@rocktroll2002]

just saw this video, my mom made this for years in a variety of flavors and colors. Brad is absolutely correct on the when it hits it sticks I still have the scars to prove it. just be aware that some flavors can easily take your breath away as they are quite strong (cinnamon, peppermint etc) I do like your cutting method though I dont remember it taking so long to harden on the sheet pan, but maybe we had ours thinner. and we did a light coating of oil to help it not stick to the pan.

[@adashofreality]

Thank you for this video. It's 2020 and I'm looking for fun easy to make gifts. I'm 1 minute in and grateful for the animals.

[@MrZombie999]

I used (on first try at this) 1/3 Honey, 3/3 White Sugar, 1 old Banana (mashed into the melting sugar/honey mix) and some vanilla flavouring no water or acid. It made a soft candy and tasted great

[@mapleviewfarm1]

You made this look so easy! My girls use to ask me to make anise candy EVERY year. It was a 50/50 chance it would turn out (either I didn't cook it long enough, or I burned it!). Maybe now that I have a digital thermometer I may be more successful! Anyway....thanks for the memories!

[@prluv0079]

Thanks for sharing!! LOL it was a great video!!

[@karley931]

I have apple and cinnamon flavoring, I want to make hard candy eyes for Halloween!!! Thank you for this diy! Truly helpful and funny!

[@sarahlopez3814]

i dont why your stuff aint poppin ur good n getting to ur points with some humor n not alot which i dig staying on topic

[@mrs.powerfuldottie8618]

That cute little bunny!! I love this candy vid!

[@therespectedlex9794]

The rabbit's nice too eh.

[@acidpixels1834]

I’m gonna try this recipe, seems fun and not so difficult. Thumbs up for the little bun.

[@cecilywynn7127]

Jus made your candy recipe and I loved it! Came out perfectly. I have been making glass candy for years...the recipe I use comes out great and taste like cotton candy...however, because I use vinegar in my recipe it alters the taste of flavorings a ittle. I used a green apple flavor today and it is great. So thx u with a huge smiley face...

[@barbbarbie826]

Big Daddy Brad is a big silly. Which made the video fun!! 🤣

[@UNACCEPTABLE..]

Your gonna wanna keep stirring as you pet the bird. I love this.

[@diannagostlin3140]

Love the farm animals😍

[@rebeccalogan6990]

The flavor cost way more than 50 cents now lol its $2.17 for a 2 pack at Walmart

[@kameljoe21]

Yeah I have done my research and that is about as cheap as you can get it, I am sure there are other sources. Yet they are a hard find, I want a few ounces of each flavor or more.. Yet do not want to pay 100s to 1000s for it all!

[@benwhite8766]

Just use koolade liquid

[@10cats10]

Rebecca Logan true

[@btsuwu3579]

@@benwhite8766 lol nice joke

[@ClayreshaBoyce]

My local Walmart didn't have them so I found them at Micheals arts and crafts for $4.99 for 2 pk it's ridiculous 😢

[@AuntieMarg123]

this would be a nice Christmas treat to send my kids. thank you.

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

Marjorie Eades Pretty easy too! Just keep a sharp eye on the temp in the last 40-50 degrees...

[@akashaofthenile6077]

wonderful video, and love the silly humor!

[@jaishemajames4554]

Weeeeeeeee this was excellent for men who cant cook ....very fun Love seeing the pets too...a chicken hmmmm

[@susieq9186]

I almost made the comment, "Get the animals out of the kitchen." because it was driving me crazy. Then I thought... hey...It's Brad... and took a deep breath. I really laughed when I saw your comments at the end of the video. Keep those videos coming.

[@hyperboytkl1077]

Candy is a popular alternative in quitting smoking

[@thetherapymama6404]

So easy and the animals cracked me up!

[@mrs.powerfuldottie8618]

Aww! What a cute Guinea Pig! I had one when I was a kid!

[@KoatsNGoats]

Me: Has he lost his marbles? Him: probably, but screw it we're making candy!

[@gloria8093]

That is too cute, and delicious too, but mostly cute.

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

+Gloria Holcomb Thanks! It's easy to be cute with tiny animals...

[@frankgonzalezofficial3010]

the chicken made me laugh! great video

[@CondemnedVideos]

Great video, really clear instructions! Made myself some yummy THC candies! Stay medicated :)

[@Zarglog]

Did u use tincture?

[@CondemnedVideos]

@@Zarglog I used some wax and decarbed it just before putting it in so it was liquidey. Tinctures should be fine if they're pretty concentrated, but if they're not very concentrated I'd subtract out however many ml of tincture is going in from the amount of water this recipe calls for, that way it's not too liquidey.

[@Zarglog]

@@CondemnedVideos Ooooooh good points! Thx for the info. Gonna try some myself. Happy weedin my man

[@CondemnedVideos]

@@Zarglog np, you too man

[@lavonnethurman2404]

This was the funniest video you guys have done so far. LOL.

[@Ungovernable74]

Can you make a video of you in a duck suit making egg rolls while swimming with an alligator and playing a tuba? That would be rad.

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

Carolina Prepper I thought you were the tuba guy? Duck suit...check.

[@yasisoufi]

The second I saw the goat and the idea of cooking with animals I hit the subscribe ! 😍😂

[@therespectedlex9794]

I like the goat.

[@kaitlynclary3739]

Wow. Thought this might just be another boring video on KZbin. But LOL you made it so funny, and great. Thanks!

[@toanamcintosh4855]

Can you buy your flavors from any grocery store or do you order them?

[@kalibreezy3745]

omg tysm i was trying to look for how to make candy im subcribing and using the animals are so silly and cute

[@THESHOMROM]

I really, really, really, really, really enjoyed this video. You might all enjoy my Mom and Dad's sugared popcorn. Pop a batch of popcrn and set aside in a large bowl. Next do a basic sugar and water (no glycerin or corn syrup) recipe to the point it will harden when you put a drop in a saucer of cold water (you want it to essentially recrystalize on the popcorn). Pour slowly over the popcorn stiring CONSTANTLY. It will coat your popcorn with a thin even coat of crispy goodness. Because it is at the hard crack stage and you've stirred/ tossed the corn lightly the whole time while pouring very slowly in a thin stream from above the pan, the sugar will harden as it coats and your popcorn won't be sticky and clump. Some like the combination of salty and sweet, so use salted popcorn. If not, use hot air popcorn. It may or may not be flavored. I prefer the pure popcorn flavor. I also like to leave the natural color which hardens snowy white. One more note: It is much easier with 2 people; one pouring while the other stirs/tosses and stabalizes the bowl, giving it a slight rotaion to ensure an even distribution. It may sound complicated, but it is not.

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

Boy, that sounds good! Any chance of you having a video of it?

[@THESHOMROM]

+Big Family Homestead HI, I wish I could, but age and degenerative arthritis has me nearly totally disabled. I wrote the directions from 'sweet' and happy memories. I didn't mention that in th late seventies I LIVED IN PARIS

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

I too have severe RA and I am in my low 40's. I know just what it can do to a person. I have been given Turmeric and have been taking it... It's supposed to do wonders for arthritis, I have only been on it for a few days, but I honestly notice a difference.

[@bigappleredapple]

+Big Family Homestead you have to do this

[@tinkerton7856]
