Whether you've been making candy for years, or you've never tried it before, you'll get lots out of this book. I actually run a candy-making business, and I still got quite a bit out of this book! The recipes are quite good and fairly simple. I got several ideas for tweaking recipies I already have, and got ideas for new ones. Plus they have a lot of good tips that everyone needs to remember.

The most important thing to remember, if you're just starting out making candy, is this: IT'S OKAY TO SCREW UP! Even us veterans have catastrophic failures sometimes; it just happens!

I've always liked the 'For Dummies' series; it's simple, straightforward, and easy to read and get something out of. Candy for Dummies is another great addition.
