Can Breath Mints Become Cotton Candy?

In today's video, once again, we are testing something that wanted to know what types of

candy

we can turn into

cotton

candy

. Well, guys, we've done some things similar to this before, but every time we do it, you ask to see more. So we have our

cotton

candy machine and we have several types of candy that are not cotton candy and we're going to see if we can turn one into another. Here's the basic idea: we have several types of candy that we don't have. Still tested in our cotton candy machine and we'll see how well they change from a solid state to a fluffy one.

You have quite a few different types of sweets. We have several and most of them are based on comments, but some. Of them are just based on what I thought would be fun to try, yeah, so let's start trying different types of candy. We have our little blender here so we can powder them a little bit in the eyes and I think that gives us more possibilities, although the cotton candy sugar as it comes in the container is not very fine, so it will be great. There's a reason we've intentionally left things in larger chunks in the past: it works pretty well if you have the right amount. kind of materials, but just to give everything a decent chance.

I think for the most part we're going to use pretty small powder. What do you want to start with? Well, I want to address something real quick. You have many different types. of candy in the store now bottle caps is one that was everywhere like it wasn't a comment, but it was Pixy Stix. I understand why you want to see that one, it's already a fuck, yeah, what if? you just pour Pixy Stix in there, you mentioned that you have a lot of candy because they are already powdered, however, I have my doubts that they are going to work better because to make cotton candy, the sugar has to dissolve and then something like that. chain now i found out in the past when we did this with everything from juice socks to soda we tried having coffee once it worked well the powderier something is doesn't necessarily mean it will work better you could pour it into the machine but we need something with more granulated sugar substance to make it work, so something I'm doing right now is checking the ingredients on all of these candies and honestly, most of them the main ingredient is dextrose, which is a type of sugar, but not it's the same type of sugar that we normally use, so this just says sugar, which means it's probably sucrose and the word we're going to try, we don't know if that's going to make a big difference or not, like bottle caps. and sweet tarts, those are powders that are compressed very tightly into a candy shape, no, if that's how lifesaving

mints

are made, these have sugar and corn syrup as the first ingredients that we have had success with before, at just like cinnamon hard candies. corn syrup and sugar, but most of the rest is dextrose, so it will be interesting to see what I call it now.

They will work better. Anything with dextrose is the first ingredient. I don't think it helps. Also try bottle caps. I think we should separate them by flavor so it's not a ton but it's about how much sugar you put in the machine at a time if you're just trying to make some cotton candy so I think how it starts , this will be a good amount, you can taste it from the air. I feel very sad about the color purple and very upset about the orange, okay, pretty whisper-free, that's just gone. Oh look at me wisps, I see dust in the air I just put three bottle caps in tact and I don't know what that's going to do, we pour out all the red dust and scoop something out like it's not cotton candy, you're about to see more red dust on this because I'm going to open up a bunch of Pixy Stix here ready for you, a giant pile of dust, it's going to be cloudy and some of that fog didn't land in the machine properly.

I tried, I tried my best, it's not exactly funnel shaped, well, here we go, a little bit, bits, okay, you want to try this on me, this huge amount of pixie stick, okay, look, the flavors fantastic, reaching for the pixie stick, brushing my teeth, oh, that has to teach us the offal. I'm going to double the triple I did last time, ha ha Kelly, don't sneeze, yeah, bless, yeah, we didn't have any success when we mixed up our bottle caps. Now I'm singing because they are so dusty that the Smarties will react in some way. Similarly, I'm just going to throw out a whole handful, this is a whole pack of Smarties that can weigh more than the balance of the machine, let's find out I have most of them in there now when I reached my hand out I felt like oh yeah, oh, Oh, oh, don't do it.

I don't know why he did that either and then I immediately had to do the same thing, but I did it this time too. I just put the cone right there, yeah, and look what built up on it burning hot dextrose, so it's clearly melting. Smarties and sprinkling it on but dextrose doesn't form into strands the same way so this is what we end up with the first ingredient of Tic Tacs is sugar the second ingredient is Malevich stryn okay so I think just We will take this small handful. orange tic tac again I wanted to make them all one color to, you know, keep everything consistent and I'm just going to throw these tic tacs in and see what they do.

Don't look at the corn across the room, it smells like an orange tick. tactics, that's good, let's try like crazy some chunks and some powder and something that's almost the same, oh that's not sour, but it's not bad. Just a lot of acid, that would be interesting. Wow, lots of splashes. We have made a lot of messes with cotton. sweet in our time, but never like ticking. This is the use of dim esteem we have ever had. I especially like the buildup that occurred on the sides of our cotton candy machine. It's not how we would normally do it when we put them on. here it's not supposed to come in here normally we burn it this doesn't burn it's like a sticky candy at this point that's pretty good little lifesavers this is not a texture I think it will work but the ingredients maybe yes look at that oh on my happy day I got more, so the result is not that good, it's real cotton candy sugar, but still it's amazing, pretty good.

Did we just make mint cotton candy? I think we made cotton candy with strong mint; actually it's still going on so the bigger pieces they didn't know they go anyway I'm not doing a good job picking them up it's not like scattering the same way as usual but look how light a fluffy cloud is like mint cotton clouds of mint oh, that's like eating a lot of

breath

mints

at once, that's intense. I make a lot of

breath

mints in one that is minty, very, very minty, which is very interesting and different and works well. Wow, I'm going to say that the key is sugar, yes, surely not, José, these are corn. natural and artificial flavor sugar syrup red for tea, so it's mainly corn syrup and sugar, which is what many hard candies are made of.

We've done this before so I want to try these. I don't want to powder my eyes. but I want to break them up into a little bit smaller pieces, so I'm just going to hit them with a spoon. I bet this will work very well. I bet we're going to get some strong cinnamon cotton candy. Yes, yes, maybe not entirely. so cohesive and you know, they're bigger, they're thicker, yeah, that's the corn syrup that we've made into corn syrup, like we cooked it just like corn syrup until there was a hard caramel stage and then it we put in the machine. and it does this it has like it's almost shiny leaves instead of pure strands when we made the old version of cotton candy this is what it was like it's brittle mmm and crunchy it doesn't bend or squish the same way normal . the cotton candy just crunches and then dissolves before it starts to dissolve, you're almost worried it's going to cut your tongue or something, yeah, but sharp, it's like fiberglass, oh, okay, it's fluffier, like that that the last time we had the engine on, but the heat. it turned off and it was kind of cold and when we turn the heater back on it's definitely fluffy again, it's still not the same, it has that kind of fiberglass texture, but it's comparatively fluffier than cotton candy in comparison. to the cotton shards which is fluffy cotton candy like a nice but not overpowering cinnamon flavor yes the corn syrup and sugar combinations work and I think the first time we made this we used lifesavers and found the lifesavers were great .

Jolly Ranchers also worked quite well, although if I remember correctly, the Jolly Ranchers flavor is almost too strong. We are willing to make more of this if you have more suggestions, but it should be a candy with sugar and corn syrup as first ingredients, no dextrose, so if you have a candy next. that criterion let us know and we will dry this completely again, well, there is buckwheat, I made it by magic, guys, that's not all, you know, we always have more for you to see.

We'll see in the next one we'll talk to you then.
