3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Everlasting Gobstopper

Prepare the Candy Base

1. Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and cream of tartar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil without stirring. Use a Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to cool the mixture quickly if needed.

Add Color and Flavor

1. Remove from heat and divide the mixture into portions for different colors and flavors.
2. Stir in food coloring and flavor extracts naturally, adjusting to your preferred taste.

Forming the Jawbreakers

1. Quickly pour small amounts of candy onto a greased marble or silicone mat to cool.
2. Once cool enough to handle, knead and stretch the candy until it becomes pliable.
3. Shape into small balls, and then flatten slightly to resemble classic jawbreakers.
4. Repeat with various colors for a vibrant, multicolored effect.

Coating and Finishing Touches

1. Roll the candies in powdered sugar for a shiny, protective coating.
2. Add edible glitter or sprinkles for extra sparkle.
3. Let the candies cure for at least 24 hours before storing.
