Hosted by actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth, Candy Land sees five groups of players, comprising cake and sugar artists, compete to win US$25,000 by creating confectionary showpieces.

But in order to win, the players must make their way through the iconic and visionary world of Candy Land, seeking out different flavours and unique ingredients to use as they work to reach their final destination: King Kandy’s Castle.

The idea comes from the Candy Land children’s board game, in which players race across the board to reach King Kandy.

“Whether it is exploring the Peppermint Forest or a hike to the Gumdrop Mountains, Candy Land has long been a childhood staple, allowing players’ imaginations to run free,” said Food Network president Courtney White.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer our audience an escape to this magical land, and with Kristin Chenoweth as host, there is nobody better at taking viewers on this immersive journey for some fun and excitement.”
