Rock candy recipe

Hi guys,

Hope you guys had a great week. In this weeks recipe I will show you how to make Rock candy. I see these everywhere in candy stores and my kids loveeeeee them. So, I decided to share with you how to make these. They are perfect for kids party sweet table, to put in drinks, (like champagne), to give away as favors or to simply to eat them as lollipops. You can flavor them with any flavor extract of your choice or add Kool-Aid powder for different flavors.
Hope you enjoy this easy recipe.

Ingredients:
1 cup water
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
Food colouring of your choice
Flavor extract of your choice OR Kool-Aid

Step 1

Dip you sticks into water and transfer them into your granulated sugar making sure to completely cover them. Let them dry completely on a paper towel 

Step 2

Boil 1 cup of water and gradually add your sugar. 

Step 3

At this point you may add your flavor extract or Kool-Aid.

Step 4

Let your syrup cool a little bit and divide it into your jars. **be very careful not to burn yourself**

Step 5

If  you wanted to make specific shades, you may also add food coloring at this point. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Let your syrup cool completely before submerging your sticks in your sugar liquid. If you do not wait, your warm liquid will completely melt the sugar on your stick and therefore, it will NOT crystallize.

You will notice that your liquid will start to crystallize once cooled. Insert your lollipop stick making sure it doesn't touch the bottom of your jar or else they will get stuck to the bottom. **You may do so with a clothes pin**

 Step 7

This is after 3 days

Let your sticks in your jars for  at least 1 week and watch them grow in size.

  Step 8 

After 1 week, remove them from the jars and let them dry on paper towel. The paper towel will help absorb the extra liquid.
