No matter what sorts of candy you plan on making, there are a few ingredients and supplies that are nearly universal. Here's a basic list of what you should keep on hand:
- Granulated sugar.
- Powdered sugar / confectioner's sugar. Don't be alarmed if the ingredients also list corn starch, many manufacturers put a small amount of corn starch in to keep it from getting too compacted.
- Light corn syrup.
- Parchment and wax paper.
- Newspaper or something else to protect the floors of your work area and minimize clean up.
- Corn starch
- Candy thermometer
If you have some spare cash on hand, I would strongly suggest getting a Silpat mat. Silpat baking mats are made of silicon, and function much like parchment paper. However, they are reusable. If you are working with something sticky, a silpat mat is priceless.
