The candy man

My dad has many talents. One of them is candy making. His cancer treatments are taking their toll. But even with that, he still manages to make his caramel and divinity for special occasions. 

I didn't have the heavy duty mixer that he was used to using.  So to help the setting process,  we put the bowl in a larger bowl of cold water. But the smaller bowl had a small hole it it and water leaked in. So he cooked off some of the water and it started to caramelize. It is a little more browned than normal but it's silky-smooth melt in your mouth delicious!

      (Hey, Candy man)
      Alright everybody gather 'round
      The Candy Man is here
      What kind of candy do you want
      Sweet choc'late
      Choc'late malted candy
      Gum drops
      Anything you want
      You've come to the right man
      'Cause I'm the Candy Man
      Who can take a sunrise (who can take a sunrise)
      Sprinkle it with dew (sprinkle it with dew)
      Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
      The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
      Oh, the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)

      'Cause he mixes it with love
      And makes the world taste good
      (Makes the world taste good)
      Who can take a rainbow (who can take a rainbow)
      Wrap it in a sigh (wrap it in a sigh)
      Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
      The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
      The Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
      The Candy Man can
      'Cause he mixes it with love
      And makes the world taste good
