How Do You Make Homemade Hard Candy?
This recipe was an accident but my kids loved it.I use candy molds for what ever holiday is coming up.i have also made these ahead and decorated the tree with them.If not a holiday I use small cubed ice trays. boil 2 cups of water and two cups of sugar to hard crack stage.(when a drop of syrup mixture dropped into cup of cold water becomes hard) Remove from heat and add 1 package of kool-aide any flavor and pour into candy molds sprayed with cooking spray.Allow to cool, will harden about 1 hour.For suckers just add stick into mold while still hot. These may be wrapped with saran wrap and stored in cool place up to 2 weeks. You can make a wreath with these by using small ice cube trays and adding tooth picks while hot.When cooled completely wrap in saran wrap and push tooth picks into styro foam wreath shape in any pattern,any color for any season.
