# Maltitol syrup vs crystalline maltitol for hard candy: which do you use?

The two forms behave differently in cooking and on the label. We would like to hear which suits which product.

- Which form gives you better clarity and texture in hard candy?
- How do you control crystallisation or graining?
- Any differences in cooking temperature or cycle time?

Curious whether anyone blends forms to get both body and processability.
