Candi Sugar vs Syrup

[manticle]

Not desperate - this will age for 6-12 months but there is no way my homemade will come close to the commercial d2. I have made many batches of candy sugar before, both dark and light and the dark is not a close match

What is the difference between commercial and home made? Are there more ingredients than just sugar and acid? Any taste difference ( I assume yes as you are willing to pay for it...)
