Yield 3 jars

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups water
6 cups sugar, divided
food coloring (optional)
candy flavoring
3 lengths of string (6-inch)

  • * 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.

  • 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.

  • If a layer forms on the surface of the jar, break it.
  • When liquid completely evaporates, candy is ready.
