The day of the year to channel your inner child, December 7th...

This past December 7th, we all had the chance to channel our inner child by celebrating " National Cotton Candy Day". Who remembers going to the fair or circus, and getting their cotton candy to munch on during the time they were there? These days though there are home machines, that you can bring home and do it yourself in your own kitchen.

Well with " National Cotton Candy Day" we have a chance to take what we make at home, or purchase in the store , and take it to a whole new level, with some great recipes that can be found online.

Some of the best links that demonstrate the best use of cotton candy include the following links:
