3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Creating Edible Glass

Preparing the Sugar Mixture

1. In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, water, and cream of tartar.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely. Attach a candy thermometer to monitor temperature.

Heating to the Perfect Temperature

1. Bring the mixture to 300°F (hard crack stage). Once reached, remove from heat immediately.
2. If desired, add food coloring and flavoring once the mixture is off the heat and stir gently.

Shaping and Cooling the Edible Glass

1. Pour the hot mixture onto a silicone mold or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Allow it to cool and harden completely, which typically takes about 20-30 minutes.
3. Once hardened, break into shards or cut into desired shapes using wire cutters for a more authentic glass shard appearance.

4. Storage Tips for Your Hard Candy

Store your hard candy glass shards in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep away from moisture and humidity to prevent stickiness. For longer storage, placing the shards in a sealed plastic bag within an airtight container helps maintain their crisp texture and visual appeal.

5. Serving Suggestions with Edible Glass

Use your hard candy glass shards as eye-catching decorations for desserts like cakes, ice cream, or pudding. For themed parties, add them to cocktails or mocktails for a dramatic effect. Combining this visually stunning candy with other waffles or sweet treats creates a memorable experience for guests.

Per serving, this hard candy contains primarily sugar, providing quick energy but should be enjoyed in moderation. It is free from gluten and dairy but high in calories due to the sugar content. For healthier alternatives, consider substituting some sugar with natural sweeteners, though it may affect the appearance and hardness.
