from candy.com

Ingrdients:

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp. flavoured oil
Food colouring

Cook the first 3 ingredients to 300 degrees. Remove from heat then add flavoured oil and food colouring.

Pour quickly onto greased cookie sheet. Cool slightly and cut into small pieces. Or wait until it has cooled down completely and break if you want uneven pieces.

Flavoured oil can be any flavour desired and you can add different food colourings to individual batches.

For candy sticks:

If you want to put the broken crystals on a stick to make rock candy swizzle sticks:

Wet a wooden stick by dipping it into cooked sugar syrup (same as you’ve made for step one of the rock candy recipe, just make far less and leave it clear) now roll the wooden stick in the broken crystals, let it dry, wet again by drizzling a bit of sugar syrup on this time and roll in the crystals, repeat the process until you have the desired result.
