Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup water ((4 fl oz))
  • 8.25 oz light corn syrup ((3/4 cup))
  • 14 oz granulated sugar ((2 cups))
  • 2 tsp clear flavoring extract
  • Blue gel food coloring (I used Americolor Sky Blue)
  • Candy thermometer

Instruction

  • Line a baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray, or use non-stick foil.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Place the pan over medium-high heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Once it comes to a simmer, brush down the sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. Insert a candy thermometer.
  • Continue to cook the candy without stirring until it reads 290 degrees Fahrenheit (143 C) on the thermometer. Watch the temperature carefully--a lower temperature might produce sticky candy, while a higher temperature runs the risk of producing green candy!
  • Once at 290, take the pan off the heat and let it sit for a few moments, until rapid bubbles stop breaking on the surface. Add the flavoring and a drop or two of food coloring, and stir everything together.
  • Pour the candy onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin layer. Let it set completely at room temperature.
  • Once set, break it into small pieces. For the complete Breaking Bad experience, place the pieces in a large zip-top bag and smash them with a rolling pin until they are crushed, and place in small baggies to serve.
  • Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature.
