The Science of Sweets!
 
Willy Wonka, Milton Hershey, Forrest Mars, John Cadbury! Factual or fictional, the great names in the history of candy making all share one thing: they were experimenters and innovators.
 
Now you can experiment with the art of making candy, and learn the science behind how it forms and why it tastes so good.
 
Inside this giant chocolate bar-shaped box is a scientific candy wonderland including the special tools and recipes you need to learn how to make candy.
 
Use the plastic and metal molds, shape cutters, candy thermometer, spatula, dipping fork, and various other tools to form and coat your candies. Finish them with foil, paper cups, sticks, and wrappers.
 
The 48-page illustrated book provides instructions, recipes, and scientific explanations about the science of candy making.
 
This kit does not contain any food items. Ingredients must be purchased separately, giving you control over the ingredients you use.
