Steps:
- * Candy flavoring is carried by a lot of grocery stores, near the baking aisle with candy-making and cake decorating supplies.
- Bring the water to a boil in the saucepan.
- Remove from heat; add 3 cups of sugar, stirring until dissolved.
- Slowly add the remaining sugar, reheating the water if necessary.
- When all the sugar is dissolved, pour the mixture into 3 heat proof jars or glasses.
- Stir 3 drops of liquid food coloring and 1/2 teaspooon candy flavoring into each jar.
- Tie each length of string around a pencil.
- Lay one string on top of each jar so the strings hang down into the liquid.
- Crystals will begin to form in 1 hour, and continue to solidify for several days.
- If a layer forms on the surface of the jar, break it.
- When liquid completely evaporates, candy is ready.
