Just in time for the upcoming holidays, Bruce Weinstein celebrates the world of sweets in all their glorious forms—from crunchy to chewy, from lollipops to chocolate truffles, this book is a treat for all. Whether you're a seasoned candy-maker who owns all the implements of the trade, or perhaps an aspiring novice with a big sweet tooth, The Ultimate Candy Book has the recipes and methods for you to "WOW!" your family and friends.

Forget store-bought candy—Bruce shares recipes for hundreds of homemade pleasures with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions.
