If you’ve ever harbored thoughts of becoming the next Willy Wonka, then the Kate and Berry Sweet Treats Fabricator 3000 is a new kitchen appliance you’re definitely going to want in The Sims 4. Using the Fabricator, you can cook up a long list of candies that are both delicious and filling.

As long as you’ve got the Kate and Berry Sweet Treats Fabricator 3000, you’ll be able to make a total of 22 different types of Candy. You’ll need to get your Cooking skills to the maximum of 10 before you can cook them all. 

For most Candy recipes, you can cook either a Single Serving or a Family Size, which is enough for four servings. However, Jellybeans can also be cooked in a Party Size, which is enough for eight servings. It’s usually cheaper to cook in bulk, but you have to eat all the servings before the Candy goes off.

Here are all of the Candy recipes, what you’ll need to make them, and how much they cost to make:

How to make Shocked Candy in The Sims 4

If you’ve got your Mischief skill up to level 5, then you’ll also be able to make a Shocked version of each of the above-mentioned Candies. The cost and ingredients are exactly the same, so there’s no reason not to if you need a Playful boost.

Any Sim who eats a Shocked Candy will receive a Playful +3 Moodlet called “Shocked Giggles” that lasts for three hours, which is excellent for practicing the Comedy skill (or any skill) that is boosted while feeling Playful. Just try not to be too playful, or it’s entirely possible that your Sim can die from laughing too hard.

Any Sim who eats Shocked Candy can also do an excellent imitation of Zeus by going outside and using the “Bring the Lightning” option. This will cause lightning to strike the ground nearby, which is equal parts hilariously chaotic and terrifying.
