Scale
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 3 drops food color (optional)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Cutters – Lightly grease the insides of 18 (2-inch) open metal cookie cutters with butter. Place the greased cookie cutters onto a lightly buttered baking sheet and set aside.
- Step 2: Mix the Ingredients – In a heavy 1-quart saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of butter, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of corn syrup, and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 7 minutes or until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for around 20 minutes without stirring until the candy thermometer reaches 280°F or until a small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms a hard brittle strand. Stir in 3 drops of food color if using.
- Step 3: Shape the Candy – Carefully pour about 1 tablespoon of the hot candy mixture into each cookie cutter. Allow the candy to cool and harden inside the cookie cutters.
- Step 4: Remove from Cutters – Once the candy is cooled, carefully remove it from the cookie cutters. Enjoy your homemade magic candy!
