Rock Candy Lightsabers
Author: Christina Shirley
Recipe type: Dessert
- 6 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- candy flavoring (optional)
- Combine equal parts of sugar and water (2 cups water and 2 cups sugar) in a saucepan and heat until all of the sugar is dissolved.
- Slowly add in more sugar until all of the sugar is dissolved.
- If desired, add candy flavoring and continue to heat until the syrup begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- While it is cooling, you can prepare your sticks. You can use skewers cut to a desirable length for your jars.
- Dip sticks into the syrup and then roll them in sugar.
- Place sugared sticks on a plate to dry (about 15 minutes) completely.
- Add a little food coloring to your champagne flutes or mason jars.
- Pour cooled syrup into glasses and stir to combine food coloring.
- Place dried sticks into glasses and secure with a clothespin, making sure it does not touch the sides or bottom.
- That's it! Let them grow 1-2 weeks for best results.
Let them dry before wrapping. I used clear plastic sacks that I cut in half to wrap them in and tied a little ribbon around to close them up.
