Smashing Treats { Sea Glass Candy Treats }

Instructions

• Line a baking tray with waxed paper or grease with butter
• Heat up a saucepan on the stove and bring to medium heat
• Add sugar to the pan and stir until it has dissolved
• Allow the mixture to boil, stirring occasionally, for approximately 30 minutes. To check if the mix is ready, drop a tiny bit into ice water – if it immediately turns brittle, you are ready for the next step.
• Add essence to the mixture
• Add the food colouring to the mixture until the desired colour is achieved
• Pour mixture onto the baking tray and place in the fridge to cool until it’s fully hardened
• Remove the “pane” of hardened candy from the tray and wrap in waxed paper
• Place on a cutting board or suitable surface for some hammer smashing time! Smash into pieces – you choose how big or small you want the pieces (more bashing = smaller pieces)
• Dust the candy shards with icing sugar to give a sea glass look to it
• And voila! The candy treats are ready to be boxed / packages for a family friend, topped onto some ice cream or just eaten right there and then – you choose!
