Tips:

  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If the syrup gets too hot, it will start to crystallize and your candies will be hard and brittle.
  • Work quickly when shaping the candies. The sugar syrup will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to get them into the desired shape.
  • Store the candies in an airtight container. This will help keep them fresh and prevent them from absorbing moisture.
