Students in grades six through 12 recently took part in a sweet event at Parkland Community Library, South Whitehall.

During the chemistry candy lab presented on Sept. 14, Amanda Evans, in charge of teen services and programming at the library, explained to the group how they could create edible gummy laces from juices such as cranberry-strawberry or grape.

By only adding a few special ingredients, they would have edible gummy candies in just a few minutes.

The youngsters then followed her instructions and combined powered calcium chloride, powdered sodium alginate, water and juice which combined to form gummy laces.
