About Randy

Hi, I’m Randy. Welcome to the Candy Kitchen.

Most people think candy-making is for professionals with expensive equipment and years of training. It’s not. I’ve spent 300+ episodes proving that.

I’m Randy. Former forensic scientist. Retired in 2020. Started a YouTube channel because I genuinely believed making candy shouldn’t feel scary – and turns out, a lot of people agreed.

But I’m about more than recipes. I want you to understand why things work. When you know why chocolate seizes, what cream of tartar actually does to sugar, why coconut oil sets a filling without refrigeration – you stop following steps and start making decisions. That’s the difference between a recipe follower and a confectioner. That’s the goal here.

300+ episodes. Fudge, truffles, caramels, copycats, keto confections, Easter eggs, and some things nobody had ever heard of – just because I thought they might be tasty.
