Who invented candy? Why is it so sweet? Why does hard candy melt in your mouth? How are candy corn, gummies and nerds made? What makes pop rocks pop? We talk with traditional candy makers at <a href="https://stickyusa.com/">Sticky</a> in California and <a href="https://www.herculescandy.com/">Hercules Candies</a> in New York about how these sweet treats take their shape. And we get a little reminder about why we can’t eat sugar all day, every day.Download our learning guides: <a href="https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/40/2a/5907f4bb491e91352ef5151d8695/how-is-candy-made.pdf">PDF</a> | <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1D6pfnwHo6YF_z3vYikakqUMCOOpWsDwJniPCP73K-lo/copy">Google Slide</a> | <a href="https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/d2/6c/dda90eaa420b9c81ddf2cd488f51/butwhy-candy-ep274-full.pdf">Transcript</a>
