Forget the ghosts and goblins; combinations of words like “cabbage candy” or “vinegar candy” are the real horrors

I pity any trick-or-treater that dares to knock upon Max Miller's door, lest they be subjected to a 20 minute lecture on the entire history of halloween before they are allowed to leave

A few years back now the BBC did a series where they put modern confectioners into Tudor, Georgian and Victorian time periods to make sweets the old fashioned way. The Sweet Makers was its title, and they covered the history of sugar at the same time. Was really interesting to watch the old techniques.

Great video! 🎃 I have a "sticky kitchen" story: my (very culinary inclined) grandmother thought that she would try and make her own maple syrup... She tapped the backyard trees, got a couple gallons of sap, and put it on the stove to boil down. She was in the next room when she heard an explosion... There was sticky syrupy sap on the ceiling, the walls, the cupboards, the floor... 😳 It was an epic mess! It happened before I was born, but she told me the story several times. She said that she found syrup in odd places in the kitchen for years. 😆 So, moral of the story: like making candy for the first time, be careful if you ever try to make syrup.

Honestly, I'm glad that the idea of "Throw them a party until they tuckered themselves out" was chosen over "beat the kids senseless beyond reason".

Note to anyone who lives above 3500 ft above sea level: you will need to consult a candy-making chart and adjust for your exact altitude if you strictly use a thermometer, and not the cold water test. Your mixture will take longer to boil, and above 3500 ft, you can easily burn an entire pan of your candy mixture and still not reach the temperature written down in the recipe. You will need to adjust your temperatures, taking your mixture off of the stove at a lower thermometer temp, thanks to being at a higher altitude. Props to anyone in the Mountain Time Zone who has tried to follow a candy recipe and had to throw away a pan belching out black smoke.

Omg i never knew that history of Halloween. We immigrated from the Netherlands in 58. The neighbours in the apartment complex initiated us kids into going trick or treating. We were shocked, going and knocking on strangers doors and demanding candy while wearing a costume? How strange, how exciting. The last few years we lived in a neighbourhood with a lot of new immigrants too and it was obvious that they felt the same way.

Pigs in a blanket made with oysters?! I think you're gonna have to do an episode on that, Max!

For anybody as confused as I was when they heard "Olives A La Natural History" is the name of a food, I went and searched for you: apparently they were...literally olives that were cut and sculpted to look like things from nature such as animals, and as a bonus "Nut Cartoons" were basically just painted nuts to look like people or things...a bit like easter eggs but for halloween

None of my Grandma's Halloween parties were ever complete without her signature vinegar candy
We used to give them to the problematic children

When I went to culinary trade school in HS my Principal's family ran a candy shop locally from the early 1900's. He showed us many things his family had made for a variety of holidays over the century. These types of candies still amaze me. And, I blew a whole lot of money on a marble slab just to make candy canes for my kids from scratch every year.

I was a child in the 60s before people started freaking out about homemade Halloween treats. My brother and I had a ranking system and the homemade stuff was #1- cookies, brownies, caramel apples, popcorn balls. I remember my mom making popcorn balls and Rice Krispie treats to give out. #2 was anything chocolate, #3 was caramels, Tootsie Rolls, taffy and all the chewy stuff, and the rock bottom was hard candy. Old ladies gave out Starlight mints.

I love my grandma's stories about what Halloween used to be like. It was basically a children's version of The Purge. "Trick or Treat" is just a figure of speech now but back then it was an ultimatum

I live in the Appalachian part of Virginia. The next time I hear older folks in this region complaining about "kids these days" or how immoral they are for going trick-or-treating, I should show them this video 😂.
Edit: I want to add that I love the way you pronounce "caramelization." I pronounce it the same way.

Oh my God, thank you! My grandma used to make this. We lived in a poor coal mining town in West Virginia, and she would make pounds of this with other foods for the miners. I have been wanting to try this candy again for decades, it was my favorite as a child.

Was I the only one waiting for Max to clink the harder candy together like the hard tack?😂
