Ingredients
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp flavoring extract (e.g., vanilla, mint, or fruit)
  • Wooden skewers or string
  • Glass jars
Instructions

    1. Prepare the Solution:

      • In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves completely.
      • Heat the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it gently simmer for 5-7 minutes until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat.

    2. Add Color and Flavor:

      • Stir in food coloring and flavor extract. Allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes.

    3. Prepare Jars:

      • Pour the sugar solution into clean glass jars. Attach a skewer or string to the center, suspended without touching the sides or bottom.

    4. Grow Crystals:

      • Let the jars sit undisturbed in a cool, dry place for 5-7 days. Crystals will form on the skewer or string as the solution evaporates.

    5. Harvest and Enjoy:

      • Remove the candy from the jars and let it dry on wax paper before serving.
