Personal Notes:
Good when chewy right after you finish pulling the candy. Once it is put into the can they will be become creamy, melt in your mouth candy.
You could separate and place a small amount of oils of peppermint or spearmint as you pull. I would try a very small amount the first time to see if you would just rather have the cream candy without additional oils.
