Cotton candy, also known as candy floss or fairy floss, is a spun sugar confection that resembles cotton. It is made of sugar that is heated and stretched into thin fibers. The fibers are then collected on a stick or cone, creating a fluffy, cloud-like treat. Cotton candy is typically colored with food coloring and may also be flavored with different extracts.
Cotton candy is a popular treat at fairs, carnivals, and other events. It is also sometimes sold in stores and online. Cotton candy is a relatively simple treat to make at home, but it does require a special cotton candy machine.
