Yes, you can use regular cotton candy floss with this machine. That being said, it's an awful machine. It's slow, messy, hard to clean and takes a long time to make a cone. That's why they have 5 machines going. it takes forever.
I'm really surprised in the video that they don't tell you that you can use the sugar floss. Seriously it's not just hard candy, most people probably just use the sugar floss anyway.
I am so sorry I missed this on HSN what a treat, I cant have sugar so this would be ideal, I love the consistancy of cotton candy, I could have only dreamt of it being sugar free!!!! WOWOWWO COME BACK!
@JBHelloKittyCandi718 yes I do, is the same one is white and pink just like the one on the video and in the box says that is for hard candy, sugar free candy etc... in fact I never try it to use it with hard candy, all the times I use the machine is with floss sugar or regular sugar and it works great a little slow but what can you ask for a $30 bucks machine lol!!!!
@JBHelloKittyCandi718 I used regular White Sugar today, and let me tell you It works!!! VERY WELL!!! Also ordering the floss package of 5 flavors! Will work great!
@JBHelloKittyCandi718 YES! the floss suger it is way better makes a lot of cotton candy. that hard candy only makes a small mouthful. i got one of these candy makers.
You need to have something to sweep through the bowl to collect the spun sugar. These are washable and reusable, although I imagine you could probably craft something of your own.
Follow the link in our video description, then click on "See all Nostalgia." You can get complete info and purchase this (different product number) and others by this manufacturer.
The instructions specifically state hard candies. But I'll message you with the link to them and the company's customer service website if you'd like to research further.
how can i order this c i'm from the philippines and i dont know how to order this thats why i'm asking you..................plz reply fast..............thanks
I'm sorry, but we only sell and ship to the U.S. and some of our territories. However the manufacturer Nostalgia Electronics is a global company. So I think if you do a search for them, you will find either a local retailer or internet company that sells and/or ships to the Philippines.
regular cotton candy sugar floss should work fine with this just make sure its been turned on for a few mins and then turn off put in only a lil amount of sugar floss it should melt a lil and then turn back on so you don't waste a bag of hard candy trying to make one cone of cotton candy
@cul8trttul If you put more than two pieces of candy in at a time, it won't spin fast enough, and nothing will come out. All you need is two Lifesavers and it works fine.
I got one. Don't use pixie sticks and then add sugar later, it tasted like cough syrup got it at bed bath and beyond for $25 (get a coupon). These machines are for single's hence the 4 machines.
The instructions say you should use hard candy - either regular or artificially sweetened. But you might want to follow the link to the item description on our website where you'll see a review from a customer who experimented with sugar.
@borilove11 i used regular sugar with coloring and it worked it takes awhile though but tastes great you should after your done put the spining thing in boiling water to melt the sugar that has harden
its not cherry and blueberry its pink vanilla and something else !

What would happen if you put a piece of fudge in it? Since it's mostly sugar, wouldn't it work? Chocolate cotton candy sounds intriguing. :-)

@zweetcottoncandy Do NOT use chocolate. It is not 99% sugar and might destroy the machine.
