Description
Cotton Candy Flavoring captures the familiar taste of classic carnival cotton candy with a light, fluffy spun-sugar sweetness, subtle vanilla undertones, and delicate fruity notes. Its sweet aroma and smooth candy-like character make it suitable for recipes that need a recognizable cotton candy taste without relying on actual spun sugar.
This liquid flavor concentrate is available in both Oil Based and PG Based formulations, allowing it to serve different recipe requirements. The PG Based option is suitable for water-based applications, including beverages and liquid mixes, while the Oil Based option works with fat-based formulations such as chocolate and confectionery products.
Cotton Candy Flavoring is unsweetened, so it contributes flavor rather than replacing sugar or other sweeteners. You can control the sweetness of your finished recipe independently, making it useful for candy making, baking, dessert preparation, beverage development, and specialty food formulations.
