❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Lorann Oils Hard Candy

1. Can I use any Lorann oil flavor?

Yes, you can use any Lorann oil flavor like peppermint, cinnamon, or fruit flavors. Just make sure it is a candy making oil and not an extract, as extracts have water that can ruin the candy.

2. Why did my candy turn out sticky?

Sticky candy usually means it did not reach the hard crack stage at 300 degrees F. Make sure your thermometer is accurate and do not remove it from heat too early.

3. How should I store hard candy?

Store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid humidity, as it can make the candy sticky. You can add a silica gel packet to keep it dry.

4. Can I add food coloring?

Yes, add a few drops of gel or liquid food coloring when you stir in the Lorann oil. It will not affect the flavor or texture.

5. Is this recipe safe for kids to help with?

Kids can help with picking flavors and colors, but the hot sugar step should be done by an adult. The candy is very hot and can cause burns.
