Ep 9. Colorful Candies

Unwrapped 2.0, a popular food show, is back with a brand new episode titled "Colorful Candies" in season 2. Host Alfonso Ribeiro takes us on a thrilling ride as he uncovers some of the most luscious and eye-catching candies.

In this episode, Ribeiro first travels down to South Carolina to get a behind-the-scenes look at how rock candy is made. He discovers that the key to making those beautiful and colorful crystals lies in the heating and cooling process. He watches as the mixture of sugar and water is slowly cooked until it reaches the exact right temperature, resulting in the formation of the rock candy.

Next up, Ribeiro travels to New York City, where he visits a candy shop that's been around since the 1800s. He gets a glimpse of the shop's history and all the exciting candies and chocolates that are still being made by hand. The highlight of the visit is the colorful jelly beans that are made in-house and come in a variety of flavours.

The candy named "BeanBoozled" is one that stands out – jelly beans that come in a variety of flavors, including some that are absolutely disgusting! Ribeiro has a great time discovering different flavors – some good, some bad – as he checks out the production process.

No visit to Chicago would be complete without a visit to a retro candy shop. Ribeiro goes back in time as he steps into this charming candy shop that has a wide variety of sweets, including some classic candies like Charleston Chews and Root Beer Barrels.

In addition to these exciting visits, the show also features some delectable recipes that can be made with candy.
