How To Make Candy

This homemade hard tack candy recipe will not only satisfy your cravings but also impress your loved ones with your candy-making skills.

Ingredients:

2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
1 teaspoon flavoring extract (peppermint, cinnamon, or any favorite flavor)
Food coloring (optional)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. You want it to reach 300°F (hard crack stage). This process should take about 10-15 minutes.
Once it hits 300°F, remove the saucepan from heat. Allow it to cool for a moment before adding your chosen flavor extract and food coloring, if desired. Stir gently to combine.
Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet or a marble slab. Allow it to cool just enough so that it’s not too hot to touch, but not completely hardened.
Once cooled slightly, use greased scissors to cut the candy into squares or break it into pieces. Dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
Let the candy cool completely at room temperature. Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy your homemade hard tack candy! It’s a sweet treat that’s sure to please everyone. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to bring a bit of homemade joy into your celebrations. Whether giving some as gifts or enjoying them yourself, this hard tack candy will not disappoint!
