Steps:
- Prepare your candy growing area by thoroughly cleaning and drying a 2 quart jar. You will need a place for it to rest undisturbed for about 2 weeks.
- In a large bowl, place the water. Dissolve sugar in water, a little at a time, stirring each time until sugar is completely dissolved, until no more sugar can be incorporated. Pour sugar water into clean jar and place a bamboo skewer in the jar, being sure the top sticks out over the surface of the water. Cover with a cloth, to keep out dust, and let rest until all water is evaporated and crystals have formed on the skewer, several days.
- NOTE: For larger crystals, try "seeding" them, by wetting your skewer and rolling it in sugar before placing it in the sugar water. Be sure not to disturb the crystals as they are growing.

Steps:
- Put one cup of water into a small saucepan, pour 2 cups of granulated sugar into the water, heat the water and sugar on the stove over a medium heat, continue stirring until the sugar melts, keep adding sugar and stirring until it melts, stop adding sugar when you see that it will no longer dissolve in the water (that is until you see sugar lying on the bottom of the saucepan). Remove the pot from the stove, let the liquid cool until it is just warm.
- Pour the liquid into a clean glass jar.
- Tie one end of a piece of heavy cord around the middle of a pencil.
- Place the pencil over the top of the glass jar letting the cord fall into the liquid.
- Crystals will begin to form in a few hours The next day, remove the cord from the jar, pour the sugar liquid back into the saucepan, reheat and cool it just as you did before. Pour the liquid back into the jar and reinsert the cord with the crystals into it. More crystals will form.
- If you repeat this procedure every day the crystal candy will grow bigger and bigger.
- When it has reached a size that pleases you, snip off any excess string and enjoy.
ROCK CANDY
Steps:
- Punch holes at the top edge of a thin 8-inch square pan so that you will be able to lace 7 strings from one side of the pan to the other. Place the laced pan in a pan deep enough to catch any leaking syrup.
- Dissolve 2 1/2 cups of sugar in 1 cup water and cook without stirring to the hard-ball stage, 247 degrees to 252 degrees. Pour the syrup into the laced pan. It should reach a level about 3/4-inch above the strings. Cover the surface with a piece of foil.
- Watch and wait. The syrup may take as long as a week to crystallize.
- Lift out the laced pan. Cut the strings and dislodge the rock candy. Rinse quickly under cold water and put on racks to dry in a very low-temperature oven.

Steps:
- Fill a clean, empty mayonnaise jar with 1/4 cup boiling hot water. Slowly add 2 cups sugar and 1 package of Kool-Aid. Stir well.
- Attach a nail to one end of a string and pencil to the other end of the string.
- Place the pencil on the mouth of the jar so the nail hangs down into the thick sugar without touching the bottom of the jar.
- Place the jar in a warm place and let it stand for a few days. The water evaporates and colorful rocky sugar crystals form on the string.

- In a large pan over medium high heat, stir the water and 6 cups extra fine sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add food coloring, if desired, then bring to a full boil while stirring frequently. Turn off the heat and ladle 1/2 cup of the syrup into a large coffee mug. Set aside and let it cool. Leave the rest of the syrup in the pan, removed from the heat, and allow to cool covered with plastic wrap overnight.
- Meanwhile, spread the 1/4 cup granulated sugar onto a small plate. Dip one edge of each skewer into the cooled 1/2 cup reserved syrup, then roll the dipped side of the skewer in the granulated sugar. Place on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap. Repeat for all skewers and add more sugar as needed. Allow the dipped skewers to dry also overnight.
- The next day, stick the un-dipped side of the skewers into a foam block, about 1-inch spaced from each other. Place upside down into the pan with the sugar syrup so that the sugar-coated edges are now dipped into the syrup. Be careful to not place any sticks too close to the bottom or edge of the pan. Allow to rest for 7 days for the crystals to form and grow. Do not move the pan.
- On the 7th day, remove the skewers from the pan. You may need to gently wiggle the sticks to release them from the partially hardened syrup. Some skewers might not turn out as well as others, especially if they were too close to each other or too close to the bottom or edge of the pan.
