Sea Glass Candy
A fun and easy homemade hard candy recipe that looks just like sea glass!
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1-2 drops food coloring, blues and greens work well
- 1/4 tsp flavored extract, or food grade flavored oil (I used tangerine)
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar , for coating
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water to a saucepan over high heat. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan.
- Bring up to a boil, while stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once boiling, stop stirring and let it bubble away until it reaches 300°F (148.8°C) on the thermometer. As it gets close to target temperature, add in the drops of food coloring, but don't stir - it will mix itself in.
- When sugar mixture reaches 300°F (148.8°C), take it off the heat, stir in the flavoring oil, and immediately pour out onto your pizza pan. It will spread out by itself. Be VERY CAREFUL, it is very hot.
- Let the candy sit until fully cooled and hardened, then lay a piece of plastic wrap lightly over the surface and rap it with a hammer to shatter the candy into pieces. Do this slowly so you can try to get the most realistic size for your pieces.
- Working in batches, put the pieces of candy into the powdered sugar and coat well. Use a dish towel to rub off the excess sugar and rub down the very sharp edges.
- Store the candy in an airtight container, or divide up into individual cellophane bags.
