Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Colorful Stained Glass Candy.
Step 1
Start by lightly greasing a large baking sheet, ideally 12x18 inches or bigger, to ensure your candy doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a sturdy saucepan, mix together water, sugar, and corn syrup.
Step 3
Turn the heat up high and stir constantly with a heat-resistant spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Once you see that the sugar has melted away, stop stirring and let the mixture come to a boil.
Step 5
Keep an eye on it as it bubbles away, and wait until your candy thermometer reads 310°F (154°C).
Step 6
If you don’t have a thermometer, you can drop a small amount of syrup into cold water; it should form hard, brittle threads when it’s ready.
Step 7
When the bubbling calms down, carefully add in almond extract and a splash of red food coloring, stirring until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 8
Now, pour this vibrant mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly to about a quarter-inch thick.
Step 9
Pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator and let the candy cool for around 45 minutes.
Step 10
Once it’s nice and firm, take it out and crack it into delightful pieces.
Step 11
Enjoy your stunning stained glass candy, a treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat!.
