About Candy

Most candy comes down to what happens when you heat sugar and water. Pull it at the right moment and you get taffy; let it go darker and you get caramel; cook it hot and hard and it shatters into brittle. Nougat holds air in whipped egg white, marshmallow holds it in gelatin. Peppermint sticks became striped canes, and chocolate arrived from cacao beans that start out bitter, not sweet.

Reach for this at a holiday party, a birthday celebration, or any classroom hour that needs a sweet-themed challenge.
