What is Candy Floss?

Floss Candy

How candy floss is made explains the way it is shaped, like puffs or clouds of sweet stuff. Usually the candy floss contains only two ingredients, sugar and food coloring. A small bowl in the center of the machine warms the sugar and then presses it through tiny holes where it spins out as floss or fine strands, into a large circular bowl surrounding the heated bowl.

People making the floss use sticks, typically white cardboard ones to gather up a cloud of the floss. Candy floss remains popular, especially at local fairs, circuses, and amusement parks. It is usually made in pink or light blue, which are essentially its “flavors”.

Technically most candy floss doesn’t have additional flavors added and flavors referred to are typically “pink” or “blue.” The predominant taste is sweet sugar since the cotton candy is almost completely sugar with just a little dye added.

Candy Floss Makers

I bet you don’t know anyone with a candy floss maker. For starters, a candy floss maker is (as already mentioned) an incredibly fun addition to the household. Kids will love the novelty of making their own sugary treats and even adults will have a blast twirling the fluffy cotton candy.

If you’ve got kids, then over the course of a few birthday parties, nights in and other social occasions, you’ll save money because you won’t have to keep spending on expensive chocolate bars and sweets. You’ll be making curly pink afros and candy floss moustaches before you know it.
