    Learn how to make homemade candy including handmade chocolates, gumdrops, fudge, chocolate dipped pretzels, chocolate bark, and more. 

    Whether you are making gifts to give away during the holidays or making treats to serve your friends and family at a party, these handmade candy recipes are sure to please.

    Keep it simple by making some Chocolate Caramel Cashew Clusters, Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream Truffles, or Giant Gummy Bears or go all out and make fancy Chocolate Transfer Sheet Topped Truffles or Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes.

    Kids of all ages will love it if you make a batch of homemade gumdrops. You can color and flavor your candy to match the theme. Make Red, White, and Blue Gumdrop Stars flavored using raspberry, pina colada, and blueberry oils, or make orange goldfish, white sea shells, and yellow starfish gumdrops flavored using orange, coconut, and lemon oils. There are so many color and flavor combinations to choose from.

    Mix things up a bit by making Caramel Apple Fudge Pops. They look like caramel apples but have a caramel apple fudge center instead of a tart apple. This is just one of the fun homemade candy ideas you'll find by scrolling through the next few pages.

    With each recipe, you'll find a step-by-step or video tutorial so you can easily make these homemade candies in your own kitchen.
