Steps:

• Sprinkle confectioners' sugar on 2 (15 x 11-inch) cookie sheets. Combine sugar, Karo syrup and water in heavy saucepan and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, until syrup reaches 290 degrees F on candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add food coloring to desired intensity and the desired oil flavoring. Pour onto cookie sheets, cool and break into small pieces.

CINNAMON BROKEN GLASS CANDY

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Insert candy thermometer, making certain it does not touch the bottom of the pan. Bring mixture to a boil without stirring. Continue to cook the syrup, without stirring, until the temperature reaches 260º F; add drops of coloring until desired color is achieved. Do not stir; boiling action will incorporate color into syrup. Remove from heat precisely at 300° F (temperature will continue rising), or until drops of syrup form hard, brittle threads in cold water (hard crack stage). After boiling action has ceased, add flavor and stir.USE CAUTION WHEN ADDING FLAVORING TO AVOID RISING STEAM. It will make you cough! Carefully pour syrup onto lightly greased and foil lined cookie sheet. Do not refrigerate. Cool completely; break sheet candy into small pieces and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Store in airtight container. If making lollipops, do not dust with powdered sugar, but place in sucker bags and secure with twist ties. Store hard candy in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate.

BROKEN GLASS CANDY RECIPE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

BROKEN GLASS CANDY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Line a baking sheet with a nonstick silicone mat or a layer of aluminum foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. If you are making more than one color and flavor of candy, grease one pan for each.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Wash down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. This prevents the finished product from being grainy and will make for a nice, clear candy.
• When the sugar syrup comes to a boil, insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook the sugar syrup, stirring occasionally, until the thermometer reads 300 F (150 C).
• When it has reached 300 F, remove the pan from the heat and let the candy cool off a little until it stops bubbling completely.
• If you want to make 2 or more different colors and flavors of broken glass candy from a single batch, pour parts of the syrup into separate pans before adding the extracts and food colorings. Working quickly to avoid the candy setting in the pans, add different colors and flavors to the syrups.
• Pour the candy out onto the prepared baking sheets and let it spread into a thin layer.
• Cool the candy completely at room temperature; this can take up to 2 hours. Once it is set, pull the candy up from the sheet and crack it into small pieces by banging it against a cutting board or shattering it with a knife handle.
• Place the powdered sugar in a plastic bag and, one at a time, add the shards of each flavored candy. Shake the bag until the candy is coated with the powdered sugar. Remove from the bag and repeat with the other colors.
• Serve and enjoy!

BLOODY BROKEN GLASS CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2, 12-cupcake tins with paper cupcake liners.
• Blend cake mix, 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on low speed for 2 minutes. Divide cake batter between lined cupcake tins.
• Bake cupcakes in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool completely. Frost cupcakes with white frosting.
• Make the sugar glass. Mix 2 cups water, 1 cup corn syrup, white sugar, and cream of tartar in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Use a candy thermometer and boil sugar syrup until temperature reaches 300 degrees (hard ball), stirring constantly. The mixture will thicken as water evaporates. When sugar reaches 300 degrees, quickly pour onto a metal baking pan. Cool until completely hardened. Break into "shards" using a meat mallet.
• Make the edible blood. Mix together 1/2 cup corn syrup and cornstarch in a large bowl. Slowly stir in the 1/4 cup of water, adding more if necessary, until the corn syrup mixture has thickened to the consistency of blood. Stir in the red and blue food coloring.
• Stab each frosted cupcake with a few shards of broken sugar glass. Drizzle on drops of "blood" to complete the effect.

EDIBLE SUGAR GLASS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan add in the sugar, corn syrup, and water.
• Insert the candy thermometer and bring to a boil. Stir constantly until the thermometer reaches 300 degrees.
• Once at 300 degrees, remove from heat and transfer immediately to a baking pan (lined with parchment paper).
• Allow it to sit until hardened (about 2 hours on the counter or 30 min in the freezer). Make sure to cover it while it sits.
• Once hardened lift the pan up and drop straight down to crack the glass. Repeat until you have fragments at a desired size.

Steps:

• 1. Sprinkle powdered sugar on 2 (11 x 15 inch) cookie sheets.
• 2. Combine sugar, Karo and water in heavy saucepan and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, until syrup reaches 290 F on candy thermometer.
• 3. Remove from heat and add food coloring to desired intensity and the desired oil flavoring. I like the flavor a little stronger so I increase the amount of flavoring alittle more. (Be careful with the cinnamon and stand back when you add it or it will clear your sinus passages for you)
• 4. Pour onto cookie sheets,cool and break into small pieces. I just let it cool and whack it with the bottom of a bottle it shatters easily. This looks very pretty in jars for Christmas gifts and to set out. Not to mention it taste great!
