Homemade Rock Candy is awesome! It really is food science working at its finest. Not only is it a fun experiment to do but the end result is so tasty. Using just a few ingredients you can make rock candy at home. It would make a great activity to do with the kids as well. Maybe someone needs to conduct a science experiment for school? This would work perfectly for that. It is easy to do, if I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get started!

Ingredients You Will Need:

Water – I generally use filtered water, since my tap water tastes gross.

White granulated sugar – The sugar is the star of the dish. You can’t make rock candy without the sugar.

Food coloring – This is an optional ingredient. It is great for making all kinds of different colors.

Flavoring – There are a variety of flavorings that you can put in your rocky candy.

Tools You’ll Need:

Pot

Wooden spoon or spatula

Lollipop sticks or bamboo skewers

Wide glasses or mason jars
