We tried regular granulated sugar mixed with Cool-Aide pack. Worked ok. It spun fluffy just not alot like normal. Was a little tart and made a little mess when cleaning. It was like coolaide in the pan. Not sugar free but..
Thank you for saving us the research and cleaning . If i try flavor i might try broken pieces of jolly rancher mixed with mostly sugar . Or dried sugar and food color broken up after it dries .
Truvia gets its sweetness profile from like 50% Stevia flavor and 50% eryhritol flavor. However, pure stevia is 100 to 300 times sweeter than sugar. I bought 4 Oz of pure stevia back in probably 2015 for $24, it's best buy date is June 2017 and know there was at least a year before that when I bought it and I still have about half an ounce of it left 7 years later. I don't use it as much as I use sugar or even truvia, because there's more of an aftertaste but I do use it. Just 1/16th of a teaspoon will sweeten a blender full of milk, banana and ice to taste more like a sweet milkshake its potent stuff. Sorry I got sidetracked a little bit there. My is its really sweet for very little volume. Eryhritol on the other hand only has 70% of the sweetens of sugar. Most of the 9.8 oz of a bottle of Truvia is actually eryhritol. Honestly, it's kinda deceptive marketing on Truvia's part to name their product something similar to stevia. It really should be called truthritol, because over 95% is eryhritol. I kinda wanna try to do the math here, if stevia is let's just say 100 times sweeter than sugar and eryhritol is only 70% as sweet as sugar, but truvia is 8 times sweeter than sugar how much stevia and how much sugar are in each bottle? Actually, rather than doing the math I did the Google and found out Truvia is 99.5% eryhritol and only 0.5% rebiana, which is an extract from stevia which isn't exactly the same thing. I guess my pure stevia I mentioned earlier isn't actually pure stevia either its stevia leaf extract powder (Stevia rebaudiana). Yeah so basically the truvia test actually was the eryhritol test you asked for since it was 99.5% eryhritol. Now I would highly highly highly highly avoid xylitol at all cost. Treat that stuff like radioactive material. It's probably okayish for humans, but for dogs it's extremely toxic. Way worse than chocolate. Even a small amount of xylitol can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), seizures, liver failure, or death in dogs. Let's just say xylitol could be spun imagine selling our giving a bag to someone who's diabetic, they're happy the can have it, they take it home are greeted by their dog, and feel like sharing a little tuff of cotton candy with them because it's just cotton candy. A couple of hours later they go to bed and wake up in the morning to find their dog dead. First off that's tragic and you'd feel horrible, secondly you'd probably be liable and end up in court. Yeah just avoid xylitol completely, it's not safe to use in hardly anything because it might somehow get accidently shared with a dog and cause them to lose their life. My dog died last Thanksgiving from cancer, but while he was alive I had to keep an eye out on any human food gave him to make sure there wasn't any xylitol in it, from peanut butter, to ice cream it can be in anything. The scariest are the ones you might not even think of, like your dogs teeth are filthy so you decide to brush their teeth, but can't find their toothpaste so you just grab yours, well surprise, xylitol is hiding in the long list of ingredients. I wish it was banned from being included within other products honestly its just too risky to our furry friends. As for allulose, well it might work because it is an actual sugar and not a sugar alcohol, but it can be fairly pricy. The reason it's almost zero calories is because the human body can't process it. I don't know if that's exactly healthy in large quantities. But I think allulose would work the best. It'd probably work fantastic mixed with an equal amount of sugar if you want just want a lower calorie cotton candy option.
I’m trying to find out whether dextrose powder or glucose syrup can be used. Can you help me with this? We have a child with Hereditary Fructose Intolerance and cannot have any sucrose. Isomalt is possible but one is really limited to a very small amount due to the GI upset it can cause.
It doesn't do great. I've tried isomalt crystals. The cotton candy turns out very wispy. Same with sugar-free candies. I will only use a 30% artificial sugar ratio (to 70% sugar). These machines are meant to spin pure sugar. Most people cannot afford to ruin a $150 machine.
I've been watching a lot of your videos can I know which food color is the best for making a cotton candy a liquid one or a powdered one? and also for the flavors as well... If I use a liquid one will it melt the sugar and will it make my cotton candy melt too?
@@spunparadise8823 thank you for the reply then is it better to let the sugar dry first before putting it in the machine... That would be the best solution right?
we make our own gatorade with the powder, and I was wondering, would the gatorade powder or other drink mixes like koolaid or crystal light make cotton candy?
Don’t. The cocoa powder will melt, but may not spin as there really isn’t any cane sugar. You may just end up with molten chocolate. This is just speculation.
Please try Allulose! It’s a rare sugar that behaves like cane sugar and has almost 0 carbs! I’ve been dying to see the results.

Did you consider aiming your camera into the machine so we could see?
Have you tried monk fruit sugar with the starburst drink mix? Wasn’t sure if it would damage the machine
I haven't, I might need to experiment!
Please try monkfruit sweetener
Great idea!
@@spunparadise8823also allulose please.
Why cotton candy shrink early. What is the reason?
And what kind of sugar can we use?
Could you please show us how it works with monk flower sugar?
Maple sugar doesnt work in the Vivoo, fyi.
Cinnamon was bad cloggy burnt bad idea for me and my first machine . But Cinnamon hard candy was reported to have sort of worked for someone else .
Have you tried xylitol, erythritol, or allulose to see if they work?
We haven't tried yet, but it is on the list!

I wish you would have tried Swerve sugar replacement, so far I find it has worked great in everything, was hoping to see if it worked for cotton candy
Great suggestion!

Thanks for the demonstration my son and I today were just disgusting if Jello would work and now we know it won't
I would love to know if you can use Isomalt to make a sugar free floss :)
I will add that to the list to try!
Does pure xylitol work?
Isomalt does work. If you get it in the little cubes and not the powder

No, liquid will not make the cotton candy melt, but the machine doesn't like liquid, if you use dry ingredients it is best for the machine.
@@spunparadise8823 thank you for the reply then is it better to let the sugar dry first before putting it in the machine... That would be the best solution right?
@@morklee7388 I was going to say yeah if you are using wet , let it completely dry first. But wait for her to confirm lol
we make our own gatorade with the powder, and I was wondering, would the gatorade powder or other drink mixes like koolaid or crystal light make cotton candy?
I will have to try this! Not sure!
Does the machine heat or just spin? You said "smoke". And "evaporated" after the first test.
Powdered sugar has corn starch (confectioners sugar). Jello, though it has sugar, contains gelatin. Not good for spinning.
i love watching you sooo much please do coco powder!!!
I will have to try that!
Don’t. The cocoa powder will melt, but may not spin as there really isn’t any cane sugar. You may just end up with molten chocolate. This is just speculation.
@@user-ml7ty3mp1o yes ik
I’ve seen jello work before lol
Nice One video
Try fruit
Wow👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! It was fun!
She looks like she's super baked, I like it. Really hope she is.
WTF?
BADDDD
Making cotton candy is really bad for your health so you need to do it sparingly. It's worse than smoking a pack of menthol cigarettes.
Curious how you came to that conclusion?
You mean the jello burnt in the machine ? Aww .
@@MaNofBiG8933I and all would like to know......😅😅😅 it's heat and sugar... And I'm sure not gonna be eating it cuz I don't like it
