Let cool until hardened, about 15 minutes. Break into about 36 pieces and store in an airtight container. Turn on the heat to medium high and bring mixture to a boil. Place the first three ingredients in a small saucepan and stir to combine. You don’t even need a candy thermometer to make this candied orange peel.
Scotcharoos, or Oh Henry Bars, are also known as Rice Krispie treats made with peanut butter. The Disneyland version comes encased in a block of white chocolate, and this recipe doesn’t have that. Thankfully, there are wonderful fudge recipes out there now that make fudge so easy to make. You will see this homemade candy called other things, too, such as toffee bark, faux toffee, fooler toffee, cracker toffee, and more. One thing you need to be sure you do is to use a glass bowl.
Break into Pieces
Candy will stay good for at least a couple of weeks. Use tongs to coat each pretzel with the chocolate mixture. We love that these homemade Junior Mints are made with cream cheese.
It's highly recommended that you use a candy thermometer. Candy is more likely to "sugar" if you use conventional methods. Basically, the thermometer makes candy making much easier. You can buy silicone candy molds to create the shape you desire.
Candied Orange Peel Recipe
Instead of have a grainy, jelly-like consistency, it will become smooth and glassy. Add 1 cup of frozen fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, that has been defrosted to a food processor. Process the fruit until it is pureed smooth. I made toffee apples with this recipe and it works great just add a teaspoon of vinegar.
Continue cooking on small heat setting until the temperature of the mass reaches 150 C. Pour the mass into molds and allow to cool down. To test this hypothesis I made 400 g of mass. The evaporation speed was similar as before since the heating power was the same. Logically it took the boiling mass much longer to reach 130 C, compared to the first test. There were some sugar crystals visible on the edges, but otherwise, the mass continued to boil happily.
Sour Gummy Candy
Molds are available online or in specialty stores. Boil until the temperature reaches 130ºC/265ºF, the hard ball stage. Bring to the boil, then cover and boil for another 3 minutes. After the sheet cools , break up the candy into several pieces. If you don't already have one, purchase a candy thermometer of good quality. Pan with confectioners' sugar to a depth of 1/2 in.
Add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to a small bowl. Add ½ cup of granulated sugar and the remaining ¼ cup of water to another small, straight-sided pan. Whisk the two together until they’re fully combined. Make your own lollipops at home, it’s so much fun and easy to make lots. A word of warning though the candy is very hot so perhaps not a recipe for younger ones.
When it’s broken into small pieces, store them in an airtight container and enjoy. Heat the mixture until it reaches 305 to 310°F (151 to 154°C). Place the sugar mixture on the stove, and turn the heat up to high. Allow the mixture to cook until it reaches the right temperature. For the coating, add ½ cup of sugar and 1 to 3 teaspoons (6 ¼ to 18 ¾ g) citric acid to a small bowl.
Allow the mixture to cool for 20 to 30 minutes. As the water begins to evaporate over the course of a few days, the solubility decreases, causing more rock candy to grow out of the solution. If this just makes your head hurt — I feel your pain. All you really need to know is you start with water and sugar and you end up with candy. You can also get most of the color out of it by 'pulling and combining' the candy while it is still warm but not too hot to the touch. Be careful not to touch candy that is still hot; it can really burn you.
With the amount that you will be putting into your recipe, you won’t need to worry about the taste of the hard candy being affected. Because of this, you may be inclined to try and find candies and sweets that do not have the corn syrup in them. This also prevents hard candy from sticking to the container itself. With every batch, you will need to cool the sugar quickly before pouring it out onto a greased surface or parchment paper. Yup, humidity can play an important factor in how your candies turn out after it has cooled. If you cook candy on a humid day, the humidity will have an effect on how hard your candies are.
Clip a candy thermometer onto the side of a small saucepan. Typically, hard candy is made by mixing in the sugar, the corn syrup, and the water into a bowl. Here, you would just stir the sugar around in the bowl on a medium heat setting. You would continue on with this process until the sugar reaches a dissolved state, allowing the mixture to become translucent in opacity. Bring to boil – the sugar should completely dissolve in the water to form a clear, viscous syrup.
