What We Said In Our Logan’s Candies Video
At around 30-minutes in length, The store’s owner Jerry expertly walks the crowd through the entire candy cane process. Reciting a well-rehearsed script packed with information and jokes as he mixes, colors, and flavors the batch.
Through all the steps watching the candy change color from amber to white as he stretched it over a hook was our girl’s favorite. After that, he formed the candy into and a giant block placed the stripes and started stretching it into the candy canes we’re all used to seeing.
The demo comes to an end once they start making the bite-sized candies for visitors to try. If you haven’t had it before just know that fresh candy cane is delicious! After a quick crunch through the outside of the candy, the inside is still warm and surprisingly chewy.
If you’re interested in more than just a bite, you can buy a ticket to the demonstration. This allows you to form your own unique candy cane at the end of the demo while it’s still hot enough to shape.

My 6 year old really enjoyed the video clip! This looks fun. =)
I have visited several candy factories myself and have always left feeling happy. I think what stands out most to me is the overall enthusiasm of the employees- they truly love what they do!
