Candy Ingredients

Method

Candy Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mixture

    Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Cook until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).

  3. 3

    Add Color and Flavor

    Remove the saucepan from heat. If desired, add food coloring and flavor extract. Stir carefully to combine.

  4. 4

    Shape the Candy

    Pour the hot candy mixture onto a greased baking sheet or marble slab. Allow it to cool slightly until it is safe to handle, then use greased hands to pull and shape the candy into cloud-like forms.

  5. 5

    Dust and Cool

    Dust the shaped candy with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Let the candy cool completely before serving.
