Cracked glass Candy

A fun addition to your holiday baking

Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp flavoring oil cinnamon, black licorice, peppermint etc
  • 7-10 drops food coloring
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Step 1:

    Add sugar, corn syrup, and water to your pot. Heat over medium heat. Prepare parchment paper for candy to be spread onto.

    Step 2:

    Bring contents to a simmer and place candy thermometer into pot ( making sure the bottom of the thermometer does not touch the bottom of the pot).

    Step 3:

    When the temperature reaches 270 degrees add 7-10 drops of your desired food coloring. Do not stir. Boiling will incorporate the color. (Bring candy up to temperature takes quite a few minutes)

    Step 4:

    Measure out 1 tsp. of your desired flavoring and add when temperature reaches 290 degrees. Be careful here, the steam is very strong from the flavoring. Stir flavoring into the boiling candy and remove from heat.

    Step 5:

    Pour candy onto prepared parchment paper quickly. Spread as thin as possible with a spatula. Let cool.

    Step 6:

    Break candy using the edges of the parchment to crack into bite size pieces.

    Step 7 :

    Place candy into a gallon size ziplock bag and sprinkle with powered sugar, (This makes so the candy doesn't stick together.) Enjoy!
