Rock candy is a childhood favor!!! Haha I love how you added the disclaimer at the end, as a kid I always wanted to make them 😆 Great video!

This is what my group made for our 5th grade science fair! Being patient at that age was torture, but it turned out, we got an A, and it was delicious!

Amazing!! I was originally looking for geode macaron recipes, but everyone seems to order their sugar crystals online and I really want to make my own. Thank you for this!!

Growing up I had an Aunt and Cousin that use to make these a good bit. Was sort of "Their Project" to do together especially around the holidays. I was so envious of them but fortunately they usually made enough to share when I would visit. Haven't thought about making these in years. Might be a good project for the grandkids one day.

I've never had rock candy in my entire life so far, so I'm super exited to try this

[caras]

yes this definitely reminds me of being a kid. esp on school field trips, we end up at that gift shop and rock candy was always the most affordable.

Awesome! My kid will definitely love this 💯 Thanks Matt! Keep it up!😊

[ardengrey]

Thank you so much! I've tried watching many videos for good instructions on how to make this candy, but none had the measurements or were helpful. Great for my science project I'm cramming that's due in a week... Also amazing how you reply back to everyone in the comments. I was trying to do that in all the other videos I watched to try and help lol.
