If you’re wondering how to make candy in Infinite Craft, you’re in the right place. As someone who has spent hours experimenting with different crafting chains, I’ll walk you through both the fastest method and the more advanced alternate route. I’ve tested these recipes multiple times to ensure reliable results, even for brand-new players.
By the end of this guide, you’ll not only know how to create Candy, but also how to unlock additional candy-related items afterward. You’ll begin to recognize crafting logic patterns, which will make future discoveries easier and more intuitive as you progress through the game.
What You Need to Understand First: Crafting Logic

Infinite Craft is based on logical association rather than random trial. Plants grow from earth and water. Rain comes from storms. Rainbows come from rain. This logic helps you predict new combinations as you play.
Before making Candy, you need:
- Unicorn
- Plant
Because:
Unicorn + Plant = Candy
So let’s start by making each ingredient.
Method 1: The Fastest Way to Make Candy

This is the quick and efficient crafting route.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Water + Earth = Plant
- Water + Water = Lake
- Wind + Lake = Storm
- Water + Storm = Rain
- Water + Rain = Rainbow
- Lake + Rainbow = Unicorn
- Unicorn + Plant = Candy
You’ll have Candy at step 7.
Why this method is best
- Least steps
- Minimal branching
- Easy for early-game players
Method 2: The Longer, Fun, Cotton Candy Method
This route is more creative and unlocks other sweets on the way.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Wind + Wind = Tornado
- Water + Earth = Plant
- Water + Plant = Swamp
- Plant + Swamp = Venus Flytrap
- Tornado + Venus Flytrap = Funnel Cake
- Plant + Funnel Cake = Cotton Candy
- Cotton Candy + (other items) = Candy variants, such as:
Cotton Candy + Disaster = Candy Crush
Cotton Candy + Rainbow = Sweet Unicorn
Cotton Candy + Storm = Sugar Cloud
This method doesn’t end in plain Candy immediately, but it expands your candy crafting potential, which is useful for discovery and collection.
Quick Comparison Table
Here’s a simplified overview:
| Method | Path Result | Steps Required | Best For |
| Fast Unicorn Method | Plant + Unicorn → Candy | 7 | Quick crafting |
| Cotton Candy Method | Cotton-based candy outcomes | 10+ | Exploring candy branches |
| Player Experience Gain | Unlocks multiple new sweets | Moderate | Creative experimenting |
| Logical Learning | Reinforces crafting patterns | High | Understanding game logic |
Pro Crafting Tips

Don’t forget: Order matters
Certain items won’t appear unless you craft their prerequisites first.
Use recursion logic
If something relates logically (storm, rain, rainbow), follow the real-world chain.
Keep Candy after crafting it
Once you have Candy, you can combine it to create:
- Candy Crush
- Trick or Treat
- Chocolate
- Dessert
- Kid
- Festival
- Sweet Tooth
Think: What is candy associated with?
Celebrations, childhood, sweetness, dessert, color, fantasy, etc.
This one mental model unlocks dozens of recipes.
Common Mistakes Players Make
Mistake: Trying to create Unicorn too early
Unicorn requires Rainbow, which requires Rain, which requires Storm.
Skipping steps won’t work.
Mistake: Forgetting that Lake = Water + Water
Many players try mixing Lake with Earth, Wind, etc., without creating it first.
Mistake: Assuming GPS-like accuracy in crafting
Infinite Craft is about symbolic connections, not realism.
