That actually might not be possible due to the temperature of the candy. Hard candy doesn't behave the same way as fermented honey (which is what the dragon's beard candy I had in South Korea is made out of). The honey is more malleable and easier to work with at room temperature, which makes it ideal for that candy. Unfortunately, once the unicorn droppings get down to that temperature, they're already too hard to work with and would ultimately break. A sugar cooked at a different temperature might be able to be used for dragon's beard candy, though.
Definitely. If he catches his arm in that sucker I don't see an emergency shutoff anywhere, or a foot pedal, and it's designed to push against heavy loads, it'd likely break his arm before someone stopped it...
As someone who A) is of Irish descent and B) was born on St. Patrick’s Day, it means a lot how much care you’ve put into these videos and this assortment. I love how much St. Paddy’s Day means to people across the US, but it’s wonderful that you’ve taken the extra effort to educate about the meaning of the holiday.
A repeat would be fun for everyone who didn't get to try them. & they're certainly each an experience. Irish cream & coffee are the two I'd probably like to see individually. The chocolate stout was unusual, as was honey clover and barmbrack. Definitely an experience.
I received an order of this candy (two bags) in the mail yesterday and it so awesome! I'm hoping that it comes back next year. My mother (who is totally fascinated with her Irish heritage) - is going to be excited to have these as one of her Easter Gifts.
I'm SO EXCITED!! I ordered a bag when the first shamrock video came out and my order is supposed to arrive in two days. This is my first order from you guys and I can't wait! Thank you so much!
I'm of Irish descent, but like a lot of Americans who don't live in immigrant communities like you find in NYC, I don't have a real connection to my heritage. So thank you, Greg, for introducing me to the concept of barmbrack!
DankFlab Hey...I'm very loyal, I spend at least $50 every two months on Lofty Pursuits... I just worked all week, & have a terrible stomach bug on top of it, so I crashed at like 11:00pm last night! Otherwise, I would've been here with you all!
Da Cheet I loved them ( I got the gothic candy canes at Christmas) they were a bit difficult to eat because their candy canes are chunkier than the typical manufactured ones. I took to using them to sweeten my tea
Wow. I just got my order of these Shamrock candies today. Amazing job Greg! I can't believe how strongly the flavor comes through. Fantastic! I can't even choose a favorite flavor lol
This candy machine is the coolest thing in the whole world ❤️ also I loved to hear when the candy is being dropped 😍 Edit: OMG the added rings are such a witty idea
I thought the colours of the assortment looked odd, but seeing them all on the table together they were very attractive! Like an impressionist view of green rolling hills
Hey Greg, my friend sent me some of your banana and acid drop candies for my birthday. Both of them are delicious! The acid drops weren’t as sour as I had anticipated but I was not disappointed in the slightest. I’m going to send her some candy for her birthday to show her how good it is.
I ordered some of your candy and I just got it! Sucking on some lime sour soda candy now and oh boy does it taste great!! Can't wait to try the pickle flavored candy next. Thank you!!! Keep up to awesome work making such good looking and tasting candy!!
I bought some candy last year, and my favorite thing about the image candy was that the white parts always melt faster in the mouth since it's more air. And because of that, you're left with the feeling of crystals. You can see the image in your hand, and then you can actually Feel the image. I wonder how this white candy would compare
Man, I really wanted to try this batch! I wanted to make sure I had enough money for buying them and the next morning they were sold out. I'd really love the vanilla whiskey and irish cream to go back in stock one last time.
I'm very interested in the vanilla whiskey, Irish coffee, Irish cream and chocolate stout. If you don't continue this assortment I think they would make great additions to an alcohol flavor assortment. You could add some others like honey whiskey and rum and coke.
Ever considered to cover your drops in corn starch before packing? It's a common use on artisanale hard candy from where I live. Prevents sticking a lot and doesn't affect the flavour.
Enjoyed your black currant video recently, and I have a flavor suggestion for you that is also very neglected in the US: Black Mulberry! It's the most delicious fresh fruit I've ever tried and the juice is great too. A rich, complex flavor with notes of blackberry, plum, red wine, and more. Not to be confused with the bland white mulberry or the tart red mulberry. The real thing is fantastic but sadly not widely known.
I’d love to try the Irish coffee or the Irish cream! Super bummed I missed out on the assorted bag! I’ll definitely be checking to see if they go back on sale
Just got my Shamrock Candy today. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I wish there was a way on the packaging (or possibly reference on your website somewhere or included in the shipment) to determine what flavor is what.
'Greg announces that their St. Patrick's Day Candy Shamrock Variety Packs are sold out.' Wow, first time I've been upset at a Lofty Pursuits video. Seems like I really missed out!
I think it might be interesting to hear what those who come into your store, and have tried the flavors say is their favorite. Although personal pick would have to be Irish cream.
Now having tried all 8... amazing timing on the order as I received it two days before St Patrick's day... my top three are the chocolate stout, apple and Irish coffee. My only complaint is that the shamrock candy is not a good shape for shipping as most of them broke.
GREG I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CANDY. I ordered 4 weeks ago and I cannot wait till my bananas pom and the lime batch!!!! PleAse make a whiskey vanilla batch so I can grab some! :))) ❤️❤️❤️
