    🤔 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.

      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.

        Fair enough. It’s nice to know that chemical-free options exist regardless. I ought to give making some a try sometime

          chemical-free

          that depends on how you define “chemical”. You are still adding flavorings.
