Fizz Candy Recipe
Make it any flavor you like using Kool Aid Packets
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 3 Tbsp. sugar
- 2 Tbsp light corn syrup
- 2½ Tbsp water
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 packet Kool-Aid, any flavor, unsweetened
- 1½ tsp powdered citric acid
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or a sheet of foil.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with the corn syrup, and 2 ½ tablespoons water.
- Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Cook the syrup, without stirring, until the thermometer reads 300°, this will take 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the baking soda, Kool-Aid, and citric acid all at once.
- Stir to incorporate the powder into the sugar.
- Pour the syrup onto the prepared baking sheet then let stand to cool completely. The candy will not spread, so use a silicone spatula to spread it as thin or thick as you like.
- Smash the candy into bite-size pieces, and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
