Edible Candy Food Science STEM Chemistry Kit - 40+ DIY Make Your Own Chocolates and Candy Experiments for Boy, Girls, Teenagers, & Kids Ages 8+

Easy for my 9 year old to read and execute. Fun and yummy!

This seems like it could be a very fun gift for the little one in your life, however I didn't realize how much work and supplies goes into it. I was anticipating this to be everything you need, but it's pretty much just a recipe book with a few "special" tools, which are just plastic spoons and a beaker. You have to buy all the ingredients separately. The only candy this includes is the jelly mix, which is the only "experiment" I tried out because I'm not running to the store spending an extra $50+ on ingredients for a silly little project. If YOU are willing to then go for it, like I said I think it could be a very fun activity, you just have to be willing to put the time and money into it. It's like a kids' science experiment investment lol. As for the jellies, they turned out pretty good. I made the sour kind with the citric acid the kit includes. The texture was grainy, not your typical store bought gummy, but what do you expect with literally 4 ingredients; water, gelatin, jelly mix, citric acid. As for taste they actually weren't bad. A little bitter but you could easily adjust the ingredient amounts to your personal liking. So in conclusion, would I buy this again? As a gift for another kid sure I would, with a fair warning to the parent of all the work they're in for haha. But it's obviously a novelty, really just a silly fun "science experiment" for the kids. So have fun!

Got this to do with my grandchildren when they visit. They are ages 8, 10 (three are aged 10) and 12. I really like the fact that it's got materials that are written thoughtfully, It comes with 2 booklets, Book 1 Cookery and Book 2 Sweet Laboratory. One thing I would change about them is that I would make them a little bigger. They are not small though. My eyes are not what they used to be and also with more than one child, it would be helpful. We have done several of the regular recipes,including the worms, the juice jellies and the lollypops. I liked the lollypops best. Kids liked worms and juice jellies. Also have done Super recipes. I personally enjoyed Sweet of yogurt and will make it again. The girls love the marshmallows! We made the caramel threads and baskets. I know they were amazed when they saw the sugar melting. We are going to be doing these recipes again and again. I have to add that they enjoyed making them, using the blender and so on but were not impressed with drinking the homemade soft drinks. All in all this has been very enjoyable for me and I believe it's even more so for the children. I've bought a whole lot of different candy/sweet treat kits for the kids and we have never been as impressed as we are with this. The price for this is higher but it's totally worth it. I've spent between 10.00 and 20.00 for other kits that were absolutely worthless, other than it was an activity shared with the grandkids. The other kids prior to this, the treats were not even edible despite what the box claimed. The treats in here ARE edible and actually pretty yummy.Also I would not buy this unless there will be an adult involved from start to finish. Besides that's what the kids will recall years from now. Making memories that last a lifetime.

Honestly I saw her open the gift but it's not like she started using it right away. She moved on to the next gift but she was excited about it.

It's a good base to be able to add all the kitchen ingredients. The portions are small, but by doing some math the experiments
