Beer Flavored Cotton Candy

I mean, I had these beer hard candies laying around, and this cotton candy maker. Had to give it a try. Check out the videos they're pretty cool.

But the results were not spectacular. It did taste a little like beer though. Too sweet though. I mostly blame the candy. They don't make it anymore it seems, and I would venture a guess that it's because it's not very good. It's really just sugar and a little hop extract. I'd like to try this using isomalt and some malt and hops extract to see if I can get a better result. Either way, it was an entertaining experiment.

Ingredients

• 5-6 beer flavored hard candies.
• 1 hard candy cotton candy machine

Directions

1. I used a Nostalgia brand Hard Candy Cotton Candy Maker I found on Amazon. Just plug it in and turn it on. Let it run for 10 minutes to warm up.
2. Crush up the hopdrops so they melt easily.
3. Turn off the machine. Add the crushed candy. Turn it back on.
4. Run a cone around the chamber and collect all of that candy webbing.
