As a professional chef for many many years it's incredible he managed to make candy without horrifically burning himself. Also the reason why your candy seized like that is because you added in alot of cold liquid(food dye) without a stabilizer, which caused it to start instantly crystalizing around it even before you poured it out of the pan. Basically, in short, make sure to heat it to 300 or 320 or whatever ur temp is AFTER any additives or you'll get a chalky crumbly sugar mess instead of candy.

What happened on the first attempt at the cinnamon candy is something called “sugaring”. It’s when the candy is so saturated that it crystallizes back into regular sugar. This can be cause by too much agitation, too much water, too little water, and too high of a temperature. The fix is exactly what you did, using corn syrup to help stabilize the sugar.

As a hobbyist candymaker, the candy seizing up is crystallization. The usual suspect here is undissolved sugar left on the sides of the pot. Most recipes recommend you apply a wet brush to the sides of the pot to get rid of any crystals left once it's reached the boiling point; some recommend putting a lid on for a few minutes, causing the condensed water to do the same job. The issue is that hard candy is meant to be a glass, an amorphous solid -- so any seed crystals will spread if introduced. The process happens very fast with hot candy, but still happens slowly at room temperature. Freezing is exothermic, and if it happens again, you can actually feel the latent heat of fusion as it occurs! At 40:24, you can see some crystals left on the sides of the pot, after the heating has already been turned off. Leaving the syrup in the pot, adding in cold ingredients, and stirring it, all cool down the syrup and increase the risk of picking up a small amount of solid sugar that won't melt -- and, just picking up a few molecules can cause crystallization when the candy gets closer to the freezing point. The second attempt likely worked because the bubbling action brought the hot syrup in contact with the solid crystals, allowing the heat to melt them. In general, remelting candy causes decomposition reactions to happen, possibly causing off flavors and colors; as well as boiling of volatile oils, making the intended flavor less pronounced. That said, fantastic job getting it to work on the first batch!

As someone who has made candy before I know what happened when the white chunks appeared. This was caused by the candy syrup seizing due to a lack of corn syrup which inherently interrupts the crystallization process of sugar cooling down. This was luckily solved when you added more to the mixture however which I'm shocked that you basically did by chance.

The reason why your sugar got all hard and lumpy (crystallized) is because when you're making candy, you're supposed to wash down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush and some water. The crystallization happens when there's unmelted/unincorporated sugar crystals in the mixture, and washing down the sides makes sure that all of the sugar gets melted. Glad that you were able to fix it, though! Never give up! :D

Just a note for your future candy making: all those temperatures for the soft ball, hard ball, soft crack, hard crack, etc. stages are based on cooking at sea level. The air pressure affects the amount of water that boils out at different temperatures, and the higher your elevation, the lower the temperature is for the same stage. I'm not sure where you live, but I used to live in San Francisco. When I moved to Denver, I didn't expect that change and made some very hard maple candy when trying to make maple cream.

Candy maker here. I have had my molten sugar seize a few times before. Your instinct was spot on. Corn syrup keeps sugar from making course crystals like that. Also, I have always wanted a drop roller like that! I use an antique one that's pretty cool. You should roll your molten sugar when it's more stretchy. Let the hot candy rest longer on your silicon longer before beginning to stretch it. Once it firms up along the edge, you can fold it easier, and as you stretch it, you can align the crystals and make a crunchier candy. I would be happy to show you somehow, not sure how.

Sugar is notorious in the bakery world as being finicky and tricky to get just right. As a first attempt, making candy drops (the sheets are -dropped- to separate them) is a great introduction, and you did almost perfect with the saving of the batch of sugar, but the syrup might not have been needed, just a bit of water to not burn it all, and better timing with your sheet pour and mechanical work. With your chemistry knowledge, you would be a powerhouse in the artisanal baking scene. Imagine your "Made With" list including "Leftover Styrofoam Cups" and "Paint Thinner"

A really easy way to make good healthy candy is steam distilling or buying lemon oil, Citric acid in the form of lemon juice, and xylitol. Melt the lemon juice/ oil with xylitol until dissolved, cook down a bit, then pour into a pyrex pan. Once crystalized into a sheet, chip it out, then smack the pieces with a rubber mallet. It makes little irregular shaped "icy" feeling candy bits that taste like lemon heads but way healthier. I used to drop the sheets to shatter it too, that's what made me want to share it. Lol

The reason there was a lot of variance in your final product is that you accidentally mixed in a bunch of air to the bread-like candy mixture. Pulling that adds air (hence the opaque color from the more jewl red color) and is how a taffly like candy would be formed (also thats how nougats are formed, but with differing candy temps). The less dense taffy-candy would have a different texture and less flavor.

Nile, this video is so cool. I’ve made a lot of candy, and based on what I saw the only reason your sugar crystallized the first time was because some sugar on the sides of the pot didn’t reach the same stage and was reintroduced when you poured the mixture. The second time around I was worried it might happen again but you got lucky! Usually brushing the sides down with a pastry brush dipped in water prevents this. That was the only thing that kept your first attempt from being perfectly executed, IMO.

Benzaldehyde is perfectly safe, though. What's truly fascinating is that, while styrene is a carcinogen, cinnamaldehyde is an anti-mutagen. It supports DNA repair. Edit: also, the only pathways I can find for transforming cinnamaldehyde into benzaldehyde require very precise and unlikely conditions. Frankly, if your vape contains sodium hydroxide and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, or ozone and calcium hydroxide, or tetraethylammonium prolinate, or hydrotalcite, you've got bigger problems than your vape suddenly tasting like almonds.

even in candy making there are rules, first brush the area above the liquid sugar on the inside of the pot with water to get rid of crystals, these crystals can act a seed crystals and make your sugar form more unwanted crystal. 2nd, excessive stirring can also encourage crystal formation. Adding your flavor and food coloring and then stirring while the mass was already cooling probably caused the first attempt to be chunky as it was

Hi :) I study chemistry and I also happen to be a baker. In my opinion the problem with the candy hardening that Nile experienced was caused by a simple crystallization. While heating the candy mixture it is very important to wash down any crystals of sugar from the sides of the cooking pot with a wet brush because they are responsible for the candy to harden up while it cools down. This slows down the process a bit because you are adding cold water to something that you want to heat up but it is very much worth it :D

Candy maker here! What happened there was it was too hot you have to use ice baths to slowly cool down the pan before putting on the table it shouldn't look like a liquid when it hits the table should be more solid. Like you guessed this is time sensitive.. Also to get it more crunchy you have stretch it on a warmed rod that keeps it from fully cooling this is the hardest part because going too slow can cause it to harden but this part is important for removing air and also mixing the flavor more evenly.
