While microwave hard candy tends to get chewier faster than regular, it is incredibly quick and easy. Perfect for a quick Sea Glass candy for a “Tea by the Sea”!
MICROWAVE HARD CANDY
1 cup cane sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
candy flavoring and coloring, if desired
powdered sugar for coating
For sour candy, add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp citric acid when adding the candy flavoring
Mix the sugar and corn syrup together in a 4 cup microwave safe glass measuring cup.
Cover snugly with plastic wrap and microwave for 3 minutes on high.
Carefully remove the plastic wrap, stir quickly and place new plastic wrap on measuring cup.
Microwave on high for 3 minutes 30 seconds. Carefully remove plastic wrap and stir.
After boiling has ceased stir in desired coloring and flavoring if desired. (about 1/2 tsp of candy flavoring is enough)
Pour onto greased cookie sheet (I like to line it with a silicone mat) or pour into candy molds.
Cover with a piece of parchment paper and break into pieces.
Toss with powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container.
For the seaglass candy I made 3 batches, one plain, one blue, and one green then mixed all together.
