sugar, corn syrup and water will make hard candy. after that, it’s just a matter of dialing in the amounts of flavorings and citric acid for some tartness
not really, at least not that I know of. the formation of hard candy kinda depends on how sugar acts once you get it above certain temperature points. there’s probably a materials engineer somewhere that can offer you a sol’n that mostly does what you want but in the traditional world of candymaking sugar does a lot more than just sweeten.

🤔 I wonder if there’s a way to make them with natural sweeteners and not sugar.
I sense an opportunity

Fair enough. It’s nice to know that chemical-free options exist regardless. I ought to give making some a try sometime
that depends on how you define “chemical”. You are still adding flavorings.
It’s also got C12H22O11 in it
get out of your own arsehole, do you know what sugar is made of? Sugarcane. Do you know what Sugarcane is? It’s a fucking natural plant.
