Sugar for Your Candy
Ready to Use Flosssugar
Our ready to use Flossugar is the preferred sugar for your new cotton candy machine; however
100% pure cane or beet sugar will do just fine. Our Flossugar gives you good rich colors, and
great flavors, too. It is packed in handy half-gallon sealed cartons, with an E-Z pour spout for
filling your machine. Flossugar comes in many flavors, and you can easily change flavors for
greatest variety, and best sales.
Mix Your Own
If you want to mix your own use our Flossine, please follow our directions. If you want a deeper
color slightly dampen the mixed sugar. Use a tablespoon of water per five pounds of sugar,
sprinkle water over sugar, and mix well.
DO NOT USE EXCESS COLOR!
Too much color will ruin
the ribbons on your machine and could create a bitter taste to the candy. There is a limit as to
how dark you can make cotton candy. That’s because cotton candy is 98% air, and we cannot
color the air.
Sugar Considerations
Today 99% of the sugar manufactured is extra fine granulated, which does have some small
particles which can slip thru the ribbons without being melted. If this becomes objectionable, you
can seek out medium coarse or sanding sugars. The larger crystal size will require a little more
heat to melt.
Today we see some free flowing sugars for restaurants. Free flowing sugars contain cornstarch
which will burn onto your ribbons clogging them rapidly. We have also seen some off-brand
sugars that are a blend of sugar and dextrose or corn syrup. This product makes very poor
cotton candy. Please make sure you get good sugar for your cotton candy machine.
