Handmade Candies Read online

  away. Since the confectioner wouldn’t

  agree to share his secrets with me, and

  there were not many books on candy, I had

  to figure things out on my own. It was then

  that I realized that this is what I wanted

  to pursue in my life, and I created my own

  brand, “Handmade Candies”.

  I learned to prepare a broad range of

  quality handcrafted candies, with unique

  textures and surprising flavors. My candies

  are created using traditional methods and

  they contain no gluten, preservatives or

  artificial flavors or colors!

  This book contains 45 recipes, divided into

  chapters: hard candies, soft candies and

  taffies, marshmallows, caramel candies,

  fudge, fruit and jelly, coconut, marzipan

  and nougat.

  It is my hope that you will enjoy preparing

  the candies as much as I do.
