Would this work for hard candy like a jolly rancher?

This is an oil, a very strong oil. I'm not sure you would want to use this for your cinnamon candy due to its intensity. It is a pure oil so I'm not too familiar with using it flavor anything besides toothpicks. If you decide to use it, be very careful with the amount you use. Whatever you do, don't lick your fingers or touch your eyes when working with this oil. It is painful, trust me.You might want to buy some just to keep in your spice cabinet. You never know when you might want some great toothpicks or melt some plastic.

I'm not sure about that. I don't cook or make candy like that. We only use them to soak tooth picks and things in.

I don't know how jolly the ranches would be, because this cinnamon is extremely "HOT". Test it to determine how much to use!!!

Yes it does. I use it for hard candy, taffy, and even frosting. Be careful! Very hot. 1 tsp is too hot for some

Absolutely. I even have a resource for a great recipe: This is from SAVEUR magazine: http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Cinnamon-Hard-Candies

I put some toothpicks in it and it tastes good- but it has a hot kick to it.

Granulated sugar would sift right through, so I doubt this would work for that purpose

I've only picked hard fruit with it, but doubt it would work well with figs. Something that cuts the stem would be preferable, as they don't have the "shoulders" that other fruits have to pull against. The action of this picker is compression,then yanking, which would yield jam with soft figs.

I wouldn't think so. It works good for solids but might pull away if stretched.

If you are making hard caramel it works, but soft caramel will not work. It will stick and won't hold its shape.

I use this mold for the hard crack stage. It has warped some and doesn't lay flat until heated up by a new batch again. As it cools, it warps again. That said, it does not affect the candy. It still comes out in the correct shapes.

Opinion is it would be difficult given the lack of leverage on the short lid-handle and short grinder-handle. It would depend too on the hardness of the nuts. We gave ours away because it did not work well on hard or medium hard cheese. Good luck!

Yes! I used it with candy melts and was able to do a lovely job the very first time I used this mold!!!

According to he description, yes it can. I have mainly used it for candy, but as long as you don't go over the temps on scale, I see no problem.

Actually the LorAnn line offers flavoring oils specifically for making hard candy, these are 3x-4x stronger in flavor than typical extracts and stand up to the high heat of candy making. Though I have yet to make candy (it's certainly on my list of things to learn!) I would use these instead of the baking emulsions for the stronger flavor. Interestingly, these super strength oils CAN be used for baking too.

yes, you can use hard candy but the quality and volume isn't that great. if you're using hard candy, I suggest crunching it up.

Probably not. They are made for a cupcake or several pieces of candy, something like that.

I used them for chocolate and they came out great. But I'm sure hard candy would work just as well

If you are talking candy sprinkles I would say yes for the round ones, and possibly for the long ones. For the round I think it would be great to adjust the amount that comes out, the long ones might get stuck here and there but I would try it.

No these are meant for chocoloate. If you try to make hard candy lollipops this mold will melt.

I have only used it for candy, and it worked well, I am sure it would work for soap as it will almost peel away from the candy/soap inside. Hope this helps

I haven't tried that but it could be possible. Might be a little heavier than a 'pop' tho. About the size of an apple so use stronger sticks. Hope this helps :)
