Long time lurker first time poster here. This is a serious question and I’m not trying to be mean, but why is there rarely innovation in the DIY candy space? Like the big candy makers are the only ones actually inventing new types of candy.

Zotz? Airheads? Sour Squeeze? These were all new sensory methods of candy consumption and yet I feel like all I see DIY candy makers re-making classical treats.

Let me be clear, I absolutely love seeing everyone’s confectioneries, but I guess I’m just asking, has anyone actually made a new candy yet? Would love to be pointed to some examples or any other communities, truly not trying to be hateful, just curious.

Best,
