Ingredients

  • 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda

Notes

Step-by-Step Directions

Let’s walk through the steps together. Don’t worry, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

1. Making the Sugar Mixture

  1. Place a non-stick pan or a heatproof ladle over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  3. Stir continuously with a wooden chopstick or spatula until the sugar melts and turns a golden caramel color. Keep an eye on it—sugar can burn quickly!

2. Adding Baking Soda

  1. Once the sugar has melted completely, remove it from the heat.
  2. Quickly add 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda.
  3. Stir vigorously. The mixture will foam up and lighten in color—this is where the magic happens!

3. Shaping the Candy

  1. Pour the mixture onto a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  2. Press it down gently with a flat object to form a disc shape.

4. Adding the Fun Shapes

  1. While the candy is still soft, press a metal cookie cutter into the center to create your desired shape.
  2. Let the candy cool and harden for a few minutes before lifting it off the mat.
