How to Make Rock Candy at Home

The secret to how to make rock candy at home perfectly is to make sure that you boil the sugar solution until the thermometer reads 300 degrees Fahrenheit.  If the sugar solution is not boiled to the right temperature, the candy could possibly not harden all of the way and you might be left with a gooey mess.  Another thing that could contribute to this is if you stir the sugar solution for too long after it has reached the optimal temperature.  In order to avoid this risk, have your flavoring and coloring already mixed in a small bowl.  After you remove the sugar solution from the heat, pour the flavor and color mixture into the pot quickly and stir it until all of the color is even.  You should only stir the solution for two to four seconds.
