If you’ve seen people buying the Silky Gem brand of these candies…I need you to know how cheap it is to just make them yourself at home. Recipe below! 2. Add in sugar, stir until dissolved and then mix in your desired flavouring. Simmer (small bubbles) for about 5 minutes until it thickens into a syrupy texture. Be careful not to over boil (it will spill over and make a mess). 3. Pour into a square or rectangular heat resistant container (or into candy molds) and let cool for 5-10 minutes. *Tip: if there is microfoam on top, simply use a spoon to skim it off 5. Cool in fridge for 2-3 hours until completely set, then remove from the container and use a knife to cut into whatever shapes you like. Tip: pile up any cuttings to form unique clusters. 6. Place on parchment paper and let dry on the counter for 4-7 days. As it dries the moisture leaves the surface and causes the sugars to crystallize, forming a crispy exterior while keeping a jelly like consistency inside!
