  • Question
    How do I make Pez candies without using the molds I can buy at the store?
    Community Answer
    You can find instructions online using resources like YouTube for Pez candies without molds. Keep in mind though that it will be much more difficult to shape the candy if you don't want to use the molds.

  • Question
    How can I load all the Pez at once?
    Community Answer
    This is not possible. If you could, expect it to take some more effort than putting them in singly.

      Tips

      • Don't allow the pieces to fall over on their sides, after sticking them into the dispenser (a big beginner's mistake)! Doing so, can cause the device to be loaded incorrectly, thereby making the piece break and cause the machine to jam up.
        Thanks
