Would this work for hard candy like a jolly rancher?

This is an oil, a very strong oil. I'm not sure you would want to use this for your cinnamon candy due to its intensity. It is a pure oil so I'm not too familiar with using it flavor anything besides toothpicks. If you decide to use it, be very careful with the amount you use. Whatever you do, don't lick your fingers or touch your eyes when working with this oil. It is painful, trust me.You might want to buy some just to keep in your spice cabinet. You never know when you might want some great toothpicks or melt some plastic.

I'm not sure about that. I don't cook or make candy like that. We only use them to soak tooth picks and things in.

I don't know how jolly the ranches would be, because this cinnamon is extremely "HOT". Test it to determine how much to use!!!

Yes it does. I use it for hard candy, taffy, and even frosting. Be careful! Very hot. 1 tsp is too hot for some

Absolutely. I even have a resource for a great recipe: This is from SAVEUR magazine: http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Cinnamon-Hard-Candies

I put some toothpicks in it and it tastes good- but it has a hot kick to it.

I used them for chocolate and they came out great. But I'm sure hard candy would work just as well

This is solid, hard candy and holds up very well for warm drinks. I would imagine it would also be strong enough for ice cream.

I have only used it on soft cheese but don't see why it wouldn't work on hard cheese.

No. It doesn't work at all . From I have bought this item it hasn't worked with anything at all. Syrup, hard candy, cotton candy sugar u name it.......

If you are talking candy sprinkles I would say yes for the round ones, and possibly for the long ones. For the round I think it would be great to adjust the amount that comes out, the long ones might get stuck here and there but I would try it.

Yes that is what I use it in. It tastes like the kind you get at the festivals or amusement parks. The hard candy cotton candy maker you usually have to crush up the candy to get it to work the work is taken out of it and lasts. I still have a container of this. I love it. It's economical

I think that you can use it for hard cheese, but I think it is not a best stuff for this. I use it for carrots and this is really good.

We use this as a tea. I don't know much about candy making but it might work. I would think that an artificial flavor would most likely be stronger tasting as this is 100% natural. This product does contain 25% alcohol.

I think that you can. It is a bit more like brown sugar in that it's more moist than white sugar, but it would probably work. You can look online for how to use the "Ball Test" when making candy, or you can use a candy thermometer to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature as per your recipe. I tried once to make candy on a very humid, overcast day & it did not firm up, so I'd recommend making the candy on a clear day :)

It is NOT strong enough to dig out ice cream that is frozen HARD. I use it to get ice cream from the carton but mine isn't frozen completely solid. Hope this helps.

I don't think it will work with granulated sugar. The area that sprinkles is very fine, works great for powdered.

I would say yes, definitely! I used on the rough surface of a crumbly sugar cookie and it worked, so the smooth surface of a marshmallow should be even better. Just be careful of bleeding, its a felt tip. Hope it works out!

I have only used it minimally for that....find it does okay with blueberries and softer fruit like that but would not use it for tougher fruits. Its blades are better suited to liquids and soft things like peanut butter. I should mention that I smushed up the blueberries first. The little plastic spinner is really for liquids and such.

I have not tried candy, but I don't think it would. To work it needs the cans to roll.

I've only picked hard fruit with it, but doubt it would work well with figs. Something that cuts the stem would be preferable, as they don't have the "shoulders" that other fruits have to pull against. The action of this picker is compression,then yanking, which would yield jam with soft figs.

Yes, it actually makes more cotton candy and heats up faster and better than the two pieces of hard candy required if you choose to. I purchase the pink vanilla too my daughter and her friends love it, not too sweet. Holds up great in the cabinet doesn't get hard or clump.Best prices on Amazon in party stores are $25.
