Cotton candy is a light, fluffy confection made from spun sugar. It has a delicate, airy texture that melts in the mouth almost instantly. Typically, it’s brightly colored, most commonly pink, blue, or a combination of both, but it can come in a variety of hues depending on flavorings or dyes.

Cotton candy is made by heating and liquefying sugar, then spinning it through tiny holes where it cools and solidifies into fine strands. These strands are collected on a stick, cone, or into a bag, creating a cloud-like appearance.

The treat is popular at fairs, carnivals, and amusement parks, and its sweet, slightly sticky taste is reminiscent of pure sugar with subtle hints of added flavorings. Its whimsical and playful appearance makes it a nostalgic favorite for kids and adults alike.
