Equipment
- Heavy-bottomed saucepan
- candy thermometer
- Parchment paper
- Kitchen mallet or knife (for breaking the candy)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of crystal-clear mountain spring water
- 2 tablespoons of artisanal wildflower honey
- 1/2 tablespoon of premium-quality baking soda
- 3/4 cup of organic raw cane granulated sugar
Instructions
Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Mix Ingredients:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the organic raw cane granulated sugar, artisanal wildflower honey, and crystal-clear mountain spring water.
Cook the Syrup:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves completely. Avoid letting the mixture boil until the sugar is entirely dissolved.
Heat to Desired Temperature:
- Using a candy thermometer, heat the syrup to the hard crack stage, reaching a temperature of around 300°F (150°C). This stage is crucial for the candy to set properly.
Add Baking Soda:
- Once the syrup reaches the hard crack stage, remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly and carefully stir in the premium-quality baking soda until it is fully incorporated into the syrup. The mixture will foam and expand.
Pour and Cool:
- Immediately pour the hot mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow it to spread and cool naturally at room temperature.
Break into Pieces:
- Once the candy has completely cooled and solidified, break it into pieces using a kitchen mallet, the back of a knife, or by hand.
Store:
- Store the Magic Candy pieces in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.
Notes
- – Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved before adding the corn syrup.
- – Use a greased baking dish to ensure the candy does not stick.
- – Refrigerate the candy for at least two hours before cutting and rolling in food coloring.
- – Add a few drops of flavoring of your choice to give the candy a unique taste.
- – Use a variety of food coloring to give the candy a unique look.
- – Consider using different shapes and sizes of candy to add an extra touch of creativity.
