Last week we took another, smaller field trip out to this delightful little candy store in Ontario. It was worth the long drive in rush hour traffic to get there. Logan's Candies has been in business since the 1930's, and in their current location since the 1950's. We were there to see how candy canes are made. Let me tell you, if it's not handmade, forget it. I guess I am a candy cane snob now. We were able to try nice warm samples and the boys each got warm candy canes that were still pliable to play with and eat. Here are some photos of our little candy adventure.
Here he has just poured the liquid sugar to let it cool down so he can start forming the candy cane sections.
There are two different lumps of candy. The small one on the left will be the red part of the candy cane. It already has red dye added to it.
Pulling the candy makes it white naturally.
Cutting the canes.....
Making the hooks.....

I can't believe that I grew up in Ontario and have never been - is it on Euclid? I will have to go next year!
