Bytesize Science Presents: Hard Candy Chemistry!




 Reactions  show

Summary: Just in time for Halloween, we’ve scared up two new episodes that highlight the chemistry behind candy. Featuring Richard Hartel, Ph.D., professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the video demonstrates how the molten liquid candy cools to form a glass and how the sugar crystal structure of candy corn gives this Halloween favorite its’ characteristic creamy texture. Check both of the videos out, but be warned — you’re probably going to get a sweet tooth.
