Ingredients
If you want the blue crystals to glow blue under a black light, replace the water in the recipe with tonic water. This will change the flavour but you can cover it by using a flavouring of your choice.
Enjoy
- 3-3/4 Cups of sugar
- 1-1/4 Cups of light corn syrup
- 1 Cup of water
- Blue food colouring
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon flavouring, such as vanilla, lemon, or cherry flavouring (Optional)
- Grease a Baking sheet/tray using butter or shortening, or non-stick spray.
- Stir the sugar, corn syrup, and water together in a pan over medium heat.
- Let the mixture boil and continue boiling for 3 minutes.
- Stir in food colouring.
- (Optional) Add your flavouring of choice to the mixture if desired.
- Increase the temperature to 300F (148C). You need to melt the sugar and harden the candy, but not brown it. Once the mixture reaches the temperature, remove the pan from heat.
- Pour the hot mixture onto the greased cookie sheet. Be very careful! The candy is extremely hot and sticky at this point.
- Allow the crystals to cool completely.
- Use a mallet or hammer to break the crystals into pieces.
- Store your blue crystals in an airtight container, since humidity will make them sticky so it will keep the crystals from sticking to each other.
- And your done!
