Handmade Candy Canes: Made at Chocolate by Cotton
Step into the enchanting world of handmade candy canes at a charming chocolate shop in Diamond Valley, Alberta (formerly Black Diamond). This captivating video captures a skilled Swiss-trained candy maker demonstrating the mesmerizing art of crafting these iconic holiday treats from scratch.
Watch as hot sugar mixture is stretched, aerated, and expertly twisted with vibrant red and white stripes, infused with refreshing peppermint. The process—pulling, folding, and shaping while still warm—feels like edible glassblowing, requiring precision, heat-resistant gloves, and years of experience.
From small 4kg batches on a heated table to the physical artistry involved, it's a festive reminder of why hand-pulled candy canes taste so much fresher and more delightful than store-bought versions.
