How is a Candy Cane Made? - Hammond's Candy Factory Tour - Denver, Colorado

We spent a delicious afternoon surrounded by sweets made by the experts at Hammond's Candies. One of the best factory tours in the US, this shop still makes candy by hand. The candy canes are created in a multi step process, with each candy maker responsible for their own candy from start to finish. After creating the colored shell and forming it into an evenly rolled sheet, they use a machine to twist and pull the filling, which is where the flavor is added. Next they wrap the shell around the filling and use their warming table to roll it into a long snake shape. Finally they cut the candy and bend the top into the classic candy cane shape. The candy hardens quickly, so they have to work fast. These are definitely the best candy canes we have ever had!

Hi, we are the Stranathan Family! In 2018 we hit the road full-time to travel in our RV across the US. Our mission was to visit all 50 states and as many National Parks as possible! Along the way we’ve homeschooled our two kids. Traveling the country has been such a gift to us and we want to share the journey with you! Follow along for family friendly adventures, with a little learning and some laughs mixed in. #elementaryexplorers #hammond #candy
