Who knew there was Edible Sea Glass? That's right, I made Sea Glass and it's Easy, Edible, Sweet and Pretty.
And easily packaged for Under The Sea party favors.
And easily packaged for Under The Sea party favors.
With raw sugar and a white chocolate sea shell.
And now for the Tuto (not Toto, that would be the Wizard Of Oz).
Supplies
Candy Flavoring (I used Cotton Candy)~
Large Blue Sprinkles From Duff~
Blue food coloring - I used the blue from this box (which turned sea green with just a few drops)
Spray your jelly roll pan with Pam~
Make your candy according to the recipe below, pour in pan, sprinkle with Duff Sprinkles and let harden~
Lift the candy and break apart with knife by tapping the candy with knife handle~
Place all the candy shards in bowl and sprinkle with powdered sugar~
(the sugar helps prevent the candy from sticking together)
Stir until all the candy is sugar coated~
Using small bags, I added 1 Tlb. of raw sugar to each bag and a white chocolate sea shell~
Tie it up with sea green tulle~
Hard Candy Recipe
2 Cups Sugar
1/2 Cup Water
2/3 Cup White Corn Syrup
Boil to hard crack, (300 degrees) add 1 tsp. flavoring and -3 drops food coloring. Pour into greased jelly roll pan and immediately sprinkle on the sprinkles if desired. For a thicker candy, pour into a greased 9 x 9 pan. Cool and break with knife.
If you get tired of bagging up the small bags - go for the one big bag!
Aren't you glad I ventured away from the Plan? And the best part of my Beach Week...No Bathing Suits required!
It's Beachy Keen!

So, you don't say for sure but do you sprinkle the large sprinkles on the jelly roll pans before you pour the hot sugar in? What temperature is "hard crack"?
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, I noticed it last night and I forgot to go back and change it. Hard crack is 300 Degrees and I sprinkled the sprinkles on immediately after pouring in pan.
Deletethank you for adding that. I'll have to try these.
