Description

Dive into a dazzling world of sweetness with Tales Of A Kitchen’s guide to making your own mesmerizing crystal candy at home. Spark joy with every bite!


Ingredients

  • Sugar: This forms the base of the candy crystals.
  • Corn Syrup: It aids in crystallization, adding sweetness and texture.
  • Water: Needed to dissolve sugar and create syrup.
  • Flavorings: A few drops of your favorite extracts, like vanilla or peppermint, add a delightful twist.

Instructions

  1. Combine 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of corn syrup, and 1 cup of water in a saucepan.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Allow the mixture to boil without stirring. Once it boils, remove it from heat.
  4. Add your chosen flavorings and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Pour the solution into a clean glass container and let it sit undisturbed in a cool, dry place.
  6. Wait about a week for crystals to form.

Notes

  • Use natural sweeteners like honey for a healthier option.
  • Store candies in an airtight container.
  • Crystals can be colored using natural dyes.
