Sea Glass Rock Candy

Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.

Add sugar, corn syrup, and water to a saucepan. Bring up to a boil, while stirring to dissolve sugar. Once boiling, stop stirring and let it bubble away until it reaches 300ºF on a candy thermometer. As it gets close to 300ºF, add the drops of food coloring, but don’t stir, it will mix itself in.

When it reaches 300ºF, remove from heat immediately. Stir in candy flavoring and immediately pour out onto the baking sheet. Allow to cool and harden.

Flip baking sheet over and remove the candy. Using a hammer, or something sturdy, break the candy into desired sized pieces.

Working in batches, place the candy pieces into the powdered sugar and coat well. Using a dish cloth, rub the powdered sugar off of the candy, which will leave you with a dulled, sea glass look.

Store the candy in an airtight container.
