Candy GLass please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE?

Question

Ok me and my friend are doing a project and we need to make "Candy Glass" out of Jolly Ranchers....any ideas??

Answer 1

Break the candy up a bit. Place a non-stick sheet of parchment paper or that aluminum foil that does not stick (or a silicone mat if you have one) on a cookie sheet.  Heat oven to 325-350 and put your broken candy on the cookie sheet.  Bake for about 8-10 min or until the candy melts and runs together.  This is going to be VERY hot when you remove it from the oven.  Cool and remove from the pan.

Answer 2

Actually candy glass is made from sugar water taken to hard ball stage - if I were you I'd dissolve the jolly ranchers in the water first.

then use corn syrup instead of golden syrup to make the "Hollywood Glass".

Instructions

Materials :

Old saucepan

Oven

Baking thermometer

2 measures of water

1 measure of golden syrup

3 1/2 measures of sugar

A mould for your glass (depending on the shape requirements)

Steps :

Mix the water, golden syrup and sugar together in the saucepan and bring it to a boil on the oven.

Leave it boiling until the mixture is thick, with almost all the water boiled off.

Pour it into whatever mould you're using and let it cool.

Notes :

Keep it out of moist areas and direct sun.

Sugar glass doesn't last long (warps or goes sticky) so make it close to the time when you plan to use it.

Though only sugar, the glass can have sharp edges/points when broken, so be careful when handling.

Do not let the sugar caramelise otherwise it turns into a horrible brown

To achieve the see through glass affect use liquid glucose instead of golden syrup. It still has the same properties just that it is clear.
