Ever wondered how your favorite sweets are made? 🍬🍫🥜🍡
From the swirl of molten sugar to the smooth pour of chocolate and the chewy bounce of gummies, Captain Discovery takes you inside the world of candy-making. A report from the National Confectioners Association shows Americans buy over 2 billion pounds of hard candy every year — that’s a lot of sweetness. How does bitter cocoa transform into a sweet icon that shaped American culture for over a century? And what steps allow one factory in Pennsylvania to produce more than 70 million bars every day?
See how chemistry, precision, and creativity turn simple ingredients into irresistible treats in How It’s Made: Hard Candy, Chocolate Bars, Peanut Butter Cups, Gummies.
