Hammond's handmade candy

Art Candy
While our Art Candy may have the same beginning as our Candy Canes and Lollipops, it is put together quite differently. After the candy has cooled enough and color has been added, our candymakers transform small amounts of the candy into the shapes, which they know they need from years of experience. Skillfully, they arrange these shapes together to form one large 'picture'. They must work quickly, not allowing the candy to harden. This large 'picture' will then be wrapped up into a jacket (just like the candy canes) and placed onto the batch roller. Next, it is pulled by hand into a smaller and smaller diameter, until it resembles a long rope. As the candy is beginning to harden, the long 'rope' is sliced into small half-inch long pieces, and the reduced-size 'picture' is visible.
