An Okay Book

I didn't get the type of information I was looking for in this book, but I will not say that others won't. You will learn something if you are a novice to candy making.

Good Book. (But I have no talent)

Nothing I have tried to do has worked out. However, it isn't the books. fault. Nice material presented in a very good way. It just helps if you have a little talent.

Color Pictures Make This Book a Stand-Out

This book is a very simple and straightforward introduction to the basics of making homemade candy. It does not provide in-depth instructions, HOWEVER, there are many many color pictures which I found very helpful as a beginning candy maker. The instructions are easy to follow and the recipes are not too complex. There is a little bit of everything in here and you really can't go wrong for the price.

Great candy making starter book

I LOVE candy and decided I'd like to make some of my own, instead of shelling out $20 per pound. This book is a terrific starter book. It has pictures of all the candy so you can see if yours turns out looking the same. It gives great tips and starter information for the beginner. There are all kinds of recipes for chocolates, caramels, hard candies, soft candies, caramel corn, etc. The book even has recipes for making your own marshmallows and sweetened milk, in case you don't have any. I am really enjoying this book alot and may even buy another copy for a gift.
