(picture from: mspmag.com)
Ingredients:
1 cup of water
3 cups of white granulated sugar
drinking glasses (as many colored candies you want)
food coloring
bamboo skewers (the ones in the photo above were done with a cord tied on a pencil and we didn't like the results as much.
Directions:
On medium to high heat, boil 2 cups of sugar and water while stirring continuosly. Once sugar is dissolved and looks clear, add remaining cup of sugar a little at a time. Once all is dissolved, turn off heat and let mixture cool for 20 minutes. Pour into glasses. Add whatever color of food color you want into the glasses. Put skewers into the glass with pointed side down. Leave overnight and check the next day. There should be sugar crystals formed onto skewer. Leave in glass longer and more will form. Recommend leaving skewers in glass at least 2 days.
