Heisenberg’s Blue Rock “meth” Candy

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup light corn syrup
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons hard candy flavoring extract (lorann flavorings recommended)
• 1 drop blue gel food coloring (americolor gels recommended)

Recipe

• 1 line a baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• 2 in a medium saucepan, combine the water, corn syrup and granulated sugar. place the pan over medium-high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
• 3 bring the mixture to a boil. as soon as mixture comes to a boil, stop stirring and brush down the sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. insert a candy thermometer.
• 4 continue to cook the candy without stirring until it reads exactly 285 degrees f on the thermometer. do not overcook it or it will start to take on a caramel color and your candy might turn green!
• 5 take the pan off the heat and let it sit just until bubbles stop breaking on the surface. add the flavoring of choice and a drop of food coloring. stir everything together.
• 6 pour the candy onto the prepped baking sheet and tilt it so that it runs into a thin layer. let it set completely at room temperature.
• 7 once candy is set, break it into small pieces by hand.
• 8 for the full “crystal meth” experience, place the candy pieces in medium zip-lock bags and crush them lightly with a rolling pin. store in airtight containers.
