    Thanks guys for the info! Last time when I tried to make cotton candy I looked like frosty the snow man! Didn't take long to figure out that the mix was wrong. But didn't know what the correct mix was! Thanks again. Jim L.

    Default Hey guys

    If you have the syrup, make your own sugar and save $. You have to sift the sugar and then you can sell the maple nuggets. like the above posts use 4 or 5 parts to 1 . If you go lower like 1/2 and 1/2 your cotton candy will be heavy.. and won't fluff up.If you buy a machine buy an extra heating unit too because after a while it will gumm up and need cleaned so if your busy you replace the heating unit while the other one is being cleaned (read leave it in a pot of boiling water).
