The violet candy is cool and all, but tossing the sponge and having it land upright?? Thats amazing

I love that you study candy, you don't just make it, Greg. I love that you study it's history and take us around the world with you via your storytelling. I also love the poetry that you throw in. Speaking of violets, Enya released an album several years ago called Sumerigusa, meaning Wild Violet. One of the songs is inspired by a Japanese haiku about violets and its a great listen!

[@the.paige.turner]

Lmystery Dmystery I 1,000% agree that Greg is definitely an amazing story teller. And something in the way his voice sounds? I could listen to him telling us a story about anything really. It’s wayyyy calming!

[@JohnLeePedimore]

If you could get the sugar to maintain that beautiful amber color when it's thinner you could make Jurassic Park candy like that piece of fossilized amber with the bug inside. The only question is what flavor? Pine?

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

If it tasted like the sap I chewed in the mountains as a child that would be perfect

I just got my candy in the mail, and I have to say, this Violet candy is some of the best candy I’ve ever had in my life. It’s such a subtle yet delicious flavor and it absolutely blows my mind. I don’t have a basis to go off of, but it tastes amazing.

[@claressalucas8922]

I candy violets every year for cake toppings and the like. In fact, on one side of my neighborhood, the violets have mutated to have white spirals on the petals that make a really pretty flourish.

[@labella9291]

I would love to have seeds, they sound beautiful.

[@SEJIBAQUI475]

I think it's interesting that you come up with the flavors, and I really liked the dill pickle video for this reason. If you make the flavored oils in-house, I think it would be an interesting video to see how that process works

[@PlasmicPenny]

French here and got super excited seeing violet in the title. It was my favorite treat as a child. Really happy to see not just your usual great research but that you got to experience the real thing too.

I love the crystal flower series, i can't wait till you do orange blossom or honeysuckle.

There's a honeysuckle vodka in Mississippi that is quite nice

[@ideamissing]

watching you cut down the candy rods with the bench scraper and watching you break apart the sheets of drop candy are some of my favorite parts of these videos. thank you for making these videos and making them so educational

[@SkieLoon]

Do you think you guys might ever start selling stickers or hoodies? I'd love to plaster my laptop in a sticker or two, and I'd LOVE to wear a nice comfy candy themed hoodie from you guys!

French violet sweets are absolutely AMAZING!

[@YourActualChild]

oh boy oh boy if I can I’m gonna order some of these for my girlfriend! Came back to confirm that I did order some of these for my girlfriend! Candied violets are one of my favorite things I’ve eaten, and I’m so happy she’ll finally get the chance to try something similar to them! Back again to say they got here and I test tasted one, and it was really delicious! Totally worth ordering!

[@zitzak2794]

Your Son you are so nice to your gf ❤️

[@fletcherthenerd]

I hope these will continue to be made! I’ve planned for a long while to get the rose candies as a gift to myself when I graduate university in a few months but violets were my grandma’s favorite and so violet candy would be so special

When I went to Toulouse in 2005, I brought back violet lollipops for everyone. As a person who likes floral flavors, they were great! I also brought back a small bottle of violet liqueur, which was absolutely lovely. (Psst... any plans on doing an elderflower flavored candy? I already loved the rose drops in the rare flavors mix I got.)

[@KrystalLioness]

Saffron would be cool also. 😉

[@AarekMG]

Elderflower sounds great!

[@catc.9821]

Elderflower would be lovely! As well as orange blossom.😍

You’re the best candy maker around Greg. Thanks for all you do.

[@pattimessenger6214]

Greg, your crystal candies are the most gorgeous candies I’ve ever seen! And I love the history and insights you offer, The local jazz gives a lovely community “flavor.” If I ever make it to Tallahassee, I’ll be sure to stop by and pick up some of your fantastic goodies!

[@TheShalestorm]

I love the little candy run down. as many of these i watch i appreciate how thurough you are in explanation, yeah a lot of people might ahve heard you give the same talk on the importance of driving out the water, using hot sugar to evap water from dye, ect. But its that new guy that gets the rundown no matter the video that sparked his interest guaranteed that makes it def worth it.

[@pc3p079]

You're great attitude and passion for candy helps me get through hard times without even trying thank you

[@minrizor]

I entirely expected to not recognize this flavor but lo and behold it was like a trip down memory lane, back to my late grandparents' old antique shop of the '80s and '90s where they also sold nice floral sachets and a few Victorian reproduction knick-knacks like hand mirrors and art prints. I just had no context of what that heavenly aroma was, but now I can eat it! Thank you, guys!

[@thatguy04444]

Hi, Greg! I'm curious if you've ever made candy with a different sugar than white cane as the base? Also, real violets are used in making the liqueur Creme de Violette by Rothman & Winter - available in the USA.

[@massagebyconstance5665]

Why are the unicorn dropping so large? It seems like it would be a lot of pieces that you could utilize from that section....Also does the end of the log make another dropping? Can you show us, in a video, how many rods come out of one log? Please keep up the good work-your candy is amazing!!👏🏾👏🏾

[@Earendilgrey]

The end of the candy is uneven no matter how well you line up the pieces, so the design won't show up well in that end chunk. You end up doing the same with millefori clay beads and glass. Now they could make it into "mistake" pieces of candy but it seems funner to just sell it as a giant speciality piece.
