sugar, corn syrup and water will make hard candy. after that, it’s just a matter of dialing in the amounts of flavorings and citric acid for some tartness
not really, at least not that I know of. the formation of hard candy kinda depends on how sugar acts once you get it above certain temperature points. there’s probably a materials engineer somewhere that can offer you a sol’n that mostly does what you want but in the traditional world of candymaking sugar does a lot more than just sweeten.
Is there a way to make homebrew Jolly Ranchers without chemical bullshit? Anyone know of a recipe?

🤔 I wonder if there’s a way to make them with natural sweeteners and not sugar.
I sense an opportunity
get out of your own arsehole, do you know what sugar is made of? Sugarcane. Do you know what Sugarcane is? It’s a fucking natural plant.

Fair enough. It’s nice to know that chemical-free options exist regardless. I ought to give making some a try sometime
that depends on how you define “chemical”. You are still adding flavorings.
It’s also got C12H22O11 in it
I love how you used the term “homebrew” and not “homemade” lol.
There’s even a wikiHow, if you use a search engine you can find it ❤️
