Candy Floss Machine

A Candy Floss Machine makes a great gift idea for the holiday season or any other time of year, for that matter. Who doesn’t like Cotton Candy? Actually, I’ve never been crazy about it, but I do appreciate the fascination in a fluffy ball of cotton made from practically nothing but sugar and air. Having your own. This machine gives you that carnival atmosphere right in your very own home. The Cotton Candy Machines below come in a variety of sizes, prices and levels of quality. If you’re wondering why you might pay $300 or more for a Cotton Candy maker when you’ve seen them for $100 or less, there are basically three reasons: Speed, Quality and Size.

I used to own one of the cheaper machines and here’s what I’ve learned: They work, but it takes lots of time and effort to make anything that resembles the big, magical, fluffy ball of cotton that took you by surprise as a kid at your first circus show. I would literally spend 15 minutes or more with our old cheap  floss machine to get something about 1/5th the size of the real thing. A real Cotton Candy Maker gets hot very quickly and due to it’s size produces a real cone of Candy Floss in just a matter of seconds. One day I was visiting a friends house when he took me down to his basement and said, “look at this”, He turned on the switch to a stainless steel-looking kettle, put in some powdered ingredients, and twirled it around with a cone. Seconds later, he presented me with a full fledged Cotton Candy treat. I knew then that this machine he had was a real Candy Floss Maker. You can find these machines from $250 – $750 that will do the job for you. The key to making it right is heat – fast heat and lots of it. These professional level machines need to have at least 800 watts. Below, you will find Cotton Candy Makers that will do the job. You will get what you pay for.

Candy Floss Ingredients

Cotton Candy is basically sugar with either pink or blue-colored dye. Of course, sugar is not a very healthy snack, but one thing to remember: What you see in Cotton Candy is mostly air. The sugar used to make it does not even equal half of what’s in a can of Coke or Pepsi. An entire serving of Cotton Candy is only about 105 calories. Don’t worry about enjoying Candy Floss from time to time.
