About this deal

Root Beer Barrels candy gained popularity as a nostalgic treat, enjoyed by both children and adults. The distinct barrel shape and amber color of the candy further contribute to its appeal. Note, though, that there are artificial flavors and plenty of sugar here. So it’s a good idea to ration the amount you give to little ones. There’s also a caramel coloring to give the candy that distinctive brown root beer shade. One traditional recipe for making root beer involves cooking a syrup from molasses and water, letting the syrup cool for three hours, and combining it with the root ingredients (including sassafras root, sassafras bark, and wintergreen). Yeast was added, and the beverage was left to ferment for 12 hours, after which it was strained and rebottled for secondary fermentation. This recipe usually resulted in a beverage of 2% alcohol or less, although the recipe could be modified to produce a more alcoholic beverage. [13] Foam
