Do You Make Your Own Candy?

I have a friend who makes that "glass" candy. I sure would like to know how to do it myself, thenall the licorice I can EAT!! YUMMMM!!!

No I do not know how to make candy and from somewhere I got the impression that candy making is hard, particularly lolipop type candies because they cook fast, maybe I just saw this on a movie, who knows. Im not a fan of candy so I do not see me doing it in the future unless its making fudge bars with the nuts in them, they are so good, I got them once in the Boscovs department store but Im talking like Xmas, man I have no discipline with those things so I just avoid it with a passion. My father is totally opposite where he makes loaves of bread, beef jerky with his dehydrator and whatever else the occasion calls and he's so disciplined about it, barely even touches half the stuff he makes, its just a hobby he has (when we were growing up he always had a project around the house, tehe)--some people are just like that, his mom must of been like a Stepford wife or something because all his four sisters are very meticulous and creative (suprised to two could mix ).

The only candy I make usually is candy apples or caramel apples. I know how to make a potato candy though with leftover potatoes and peanut butter. I think candy making is kind of a lost art. I dont know how many people still do it. I like homeade candy. It is reallly good and has a non manufactured taste.
