Cinnamon Rock Candy

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Rock Candy.

1. Step 1

   Start by preparing two large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each measuring 16 inches.

2. Step 2

   To create a little barrier, roll the edges of the foil to form a rim.

3. Step 3

   This simple step will help keep your delicious candy from sticking.

4. Step 4

   Next, sprinkle a generous amount of confectioners' sugar over both squares—this will ensure your candy releases easily once it’s set.

5. Step 5

   In a large, heavy saucepan, combine white sugar, light corn syrup, and water.

6. Step 6

   Place the saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble.

7. Step 7

   This should take about five minutes, and the sweet aroma will fill your kitchen! Once it reaches a rolling boil, stop stirring and let it bubble away until it reaches a temperature between 300 and 310 degrees F, which will take roughly 25 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Keep an eye on it, as this is where the magic happens! When the mixture reaches the right temperature, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to add a splash of excitement—stir in the cinnamon oil and a few drops of red food coloring until everything is beautifully combined.

10. Step 10

    Pour this hot, vibrant mixture onto your prepared foil squares, spreading it out evenly.

11. Step 11

    Allow the candy to cool and harden for about 45 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Once it’s set, break it into delightful pieces and enjoy the sweet, spicy treat you’ve created!.
