In this series, learners will be brought through history. Each session will be stand-alone (meaning that each class will contain its own content separate from each other). In each class, we will be provided the history of the candy and learners will make the candy alongside the teacher. Written, verbal, and visual instruction will be provided. A copy of the written instructions will be provided on the classroom page just after class ends. The layout of each session will change as it is sometimes useful to get the candy cooling before presenting the history of candy and other times we can present the history at the beginning. Each session will consist of: Presentation of the History of Candy (10 to 20 minutes) Making the Candy (1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes) End Results and Discussion (10 minutes) Please keep in mind that some of the candies will need time to set and so not all candies will be "ready to eat" in class time.

Learners will be using hot cookware and boiling sugar every class (and sometimes a knife). I ask that a parent or guardian be present for all classes so that we can minimize the risk of injury. Safety tips will also be given at the beginning of every session.
Some recipes include items that your learner may be allergic to or goes against their beliefs. Some cases would include peanuts (allergies) or honey (non-vegan). I try to write ingredients out with all these things in mind and provide alternatives where needed. If you see a recipe that includes ingredients that are not suitable for your learner's diet please reach out to me and I can assist in providing further alterations that would work for the recipe.
