candy flavor

What is the preferred ingredient to make a juice super sweet. Say I have a green apple flavor without the slightest amount of sweetness, and I want to make something like that of a jolly rancher candy taste. How would one do it. EM tastes bad at high percentages, and I am not a fan of Stevia...bad aftertaste. What other options do I have?

Keep EM at 0.5%, add Brown Sugar Extra at 1% and work from there. If you do Sweetener keep it at 0.25% to start and adjust after a prolonged steep in very small steps or it will kill flavor. You can also play with your PG:VG ratio to get a more or less sweet result.

Brown Sugar Extra plus Apple seems a natural combination, I'd try that out first.

I made my version of watermelon jolly rancher the other day. I used LA watermelon flavoring as it is a more candy type flavoring. I also added sweetener and about 1-2% sour so it would have that jolly rancher bite to it. It turned out very nice IMO.

Sometimes I'll use Gummy Flavor and mix it in per tank or bottle
I mix 90 ml of base TFA Apple Candy, TFA Grape Candy, TFA Gummy Flavors, all separate. So that way I can make it a bit more like candy
Then I can put 15 ml's gummy and whatever fruit of each in a 30 ml bottle. I've had good luck with that
