Cotton candy has sweetened festivals for more than a century, but consumers don’t have to wait for summertime to get their spun-sugar fix anymore.
“For the longest time, you really couldn’t get cotton candy but at the fair and carnival,” said Eric Basaker, director of sales for wholesaler and private label manufacturer Dandy Cotton Candy. “Now, because of the different packaging methods, you can still find that fresh cotton candy all over the place.”
