Step 1

Prepare a sheet pan with a silicone mat or spray it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

Add the water, sugar, corn syrup, and cream of tartar into your pot or skillet

Step 3

Add the pot to the stovetop. Set the heat to medium-low and heat up the mixture. Gently stir until the sugar mixture starts to boil. After it boils you can stop stirring.

Step 4

Allow the sugar syrup to reach 290 to 300 F (hard crack stage) (145 to 150 C). If you aren't using a candy thermometer right when it starts to turn yellow it is ready to go. You can also check it by dropping a spoonful into a bowl with ice-cold water. It will harder up instantly and then you can check out brittle it is. If it breaks easy it is ready to go.

Step 5

Pour the hot sugar syrup onto your prepared pan or use a spoon and spoon it into your silicone molds. You will need to work fairly quickly because it thickens and hardens up fairly quickly.

Step 6

Allow it to cool for an hour or two. Then you can smash it! Have fun! :)

Step 7

***Be careful when preparing the recipe the sugar gets extremely hot and will burn you. If you are a young person please have adult supervision.
