Method

  1. Make the hard candy glass

    • Combine the sugar, water and corn syrup in a saucepan and mix well before heating.
    • Bring to a boil without stirring and cook until it reaches 300 °C (hard crack stage).
    • Pour the syrup onto a heat-safe tray and spread it out as thinly as possible.
    • Let it cool completely until hard, then break into shards.
