Field Guide to Candy: How to Identify and Make Virtually Every Candy Imaginable

The sub-title says it all...

Unlike baking, you just mix the ingredients, shove them in an over and walk away until the timer goes off. It takes time, diligence, & a whole lot of practice

I found almost everything here from marzipan to licorice, peanut brittle to marshmallow, dipped chocolates to molded chocolates, truffles to covered fruit, molded chocolate to taffy, gummies to pixi-stix, horehound drops to peppermints, as well as favorites from other countries.

Contents include: Introduction, candy making tools, ingredients, working w/ chocolate, working w/ sugar, & icon key w/ a full section of color photos (which I would have preferred next to the corresponding recipe)

Chapters: ALL Things Chocolate; Fruits & Jellies; Sugary Sweet; show more Creamy, Sticky, & Chewy; Nutty; and Fun and Simple Classics.

The book is small but it has everything you need/want to know about making candy. I'm amazed, but there is so much work in making candy, I'll let others do it for me or go to See's show less

This one was so much fun! I want to make peppermint patties right away. And filled chocolate bars. And Turkish Delight! The photographs are delicious-looking, the recipes easy to follow and quite detailed. One could do worse than to make a recipe from this book every week for several years.
