Instructions
Prepare the Setup
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. Keep colors and flavors ready in small bowls.
Heat the Mixture
- Put sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan. Stir gently. Heat it on medium flame. Let the sugar melt. When it starts boiling, stop stirring.
Check the Temperature
- Use a candy thermometer. Let the syrup reach 300°F. This is called the hard crack stage. The syrup will look shiny and thick.
Add Color and Flavor
- Take the pan off the heat. Pour small amounts into bowls. Add food color and flavor. Stir quickly before it hardens.
Shape the Candy
- Pour the colored syrup on the parchment sheet. Make small circles or fun shapes. You can also use candy molds. Let them cool for 15–20 minutes.
Dust and Enjoy
- When the candies are cool, dust them with powdered sugar. This keeps them from sticking. Your bright Magic Candy Recipe is ready to eat!
Notes
- Don’t stir when the syrup boils.
- Always use a candy thermometer.
- Add color fast before it sets.
- Keep candies in a cool and dry place.
- Mix two colors for rainbow candy.
