Details
It weighs almost nothing and stacks to 9,999, so there is no reason not to carry a full stack.
Where to Find Caramel Cotton Candy
1 Pal drops Caramel Cotton Candy when defeated or captured, which is usually the faster route if you are already out hunting — the drop list below is sorted by how reliably each one gives it up.
Hands-off option: Woolipop Terra produces it at a Ranch, so a single assigned Pal keeps a slow supply coming in.
Nothing arrives on its own until the pen exists: the Ranch is a level 5 technology that costs 2 points and 30 Wood (Wood), 30 Fiber (Fiber) and 20 Stone (Stone) to place. Before that, the only way to hold any is to fight Woolipop Terra (Woolipop Terra) in the field, which pays 1-2 every time with no failed roll. Both routes need the same Pal, so a captured one is worth more parked in the ranch than kept on the team.

Using Caramel Cotton Candy Well
The two things that consume it are late technologies — Special Cake (Special Cake) at level 74 and Nutrient Tonic (Nutrient Tonic) at level 79 — so a ranch started early banks caramel for dozens of levels before you can spend any. That is fine to let run: it stacks to 9999 at 0.2 weight, so an idle pen costs nothing but the Pal slot.
For Special Cake the candy is the easy half. One cake wants 8 of it plus 20 Flour (Flour), 15 Milk (Milk), 15 Egg (Egg) and 2 Mammorest Meat (Mammorest Meat) — the meat is what actually gates the batch, since it means hunting Mammorest. Nutrient Tonic is the reverse problem at 18 caramel a unit, which is where one Woolipop Terra stops being enough and a second or third in the same ranch starts paying for itself.
