I posted in another section with no luck. I found a cake with a beer bottle in a ice chest. and love the ice (hard candy) another lady had the same candy to glitter up a wedding cake. I wanted to know if it is a regular hard candy reciepe or if anyone has a different idea. I have many uses if someone can direct me. Thanks sooooooo much!!
this pic will help u (i hope) she says she used ice trays to shape ...I would use my regular recipe but watch it closely so there will be no yellowing GL!...

Here is one I found online...
HARD CANDY
2 c. white sugar
3/4 c. white corn syrup
1/2 c. water
Various extractions
Food colors
Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in saucepan. Cook over medium heat (do not stir until candy reaches hard crack stage, 300 degrees). Remove from heat and add extracts and coloring quickly. Pour into prepared pan or pans and cover with powdered sugar. When candy is cool enough to handle, quickly cut into very small pieces with scissors. Store in covered containers.
Extracts: Amount used depends upon whether you use oils, concentrates or extracts. Oils make the best candy but are not available in all flavors. If oils are used, use less than 1 teaspoon per batch of candy.
Food colors and flavors I use:
Yellow - lemon
Red - cinnamon or anise
Blue (or clear) - peppermint
Orange - orange
Purple - clove
Light green - lime
Green - wintergreen
Yellow orange - rum
Blue green - spearmint
Brown - root bear
To Prepare Pans: Using jelly roll pans or similar pans, fill with sifted powdered sugar and level off the top. Then run finger around making small tunnels in which to pour syrup. After pouring syrup in pan, cover with powdered sugar until cool enough to handle and cut.
