Cotton candy, the spun sugar confection that brings back fond memories of carnivals and fairs, can be easily made at home without a cotton candy machine. With just a few simple ingredients and tools, you can create fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth cotton candy that rivals the treats from professional machines.
Making cotton candy at home offers several advantages. It’s a fun and engaging activity, especially for children, and it allows you to control the ingredients used, ensuring a healthier and more personalized treat. Homemade cotton candy is also a surprisingly versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own, incorporated into other desserts like ice cream sundaes, or even used as a topping for cakes and cupcakes.
