Customer Reviews

Simple and clear
Used a few recipes from the book so far and they are clear and concise. Make sure you have a candy thermometer before attempting most of the recipes. Very good for a person just starting with candy making.

Great little book on candy making, great for beginners.
I just bought this book because I saw it at the local grocery store, and I love it! So many recipes, and it's written in such a way that all of them are easy to follow. Beginners and seasoned candy makers will appreciate the clear directions and beautiful photos, and your loved ones will appreciate your prolific sweet treats. Highly recommended.
