Moon Rocks
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 and a half cups of water
- Black food coloring (just a touch of it)
- large pan lined with foil (very deep & large)
- plus- a half cup of royal icing
RECIPE
1. Mix all ingredients in a heavy pot except for the royal icing. Turn stove on high, boil the mixture without stirring until a candy thermometer reaches 275 degrees - immediately shut off the heat and add a half cup of royal icing. Stir the mixture until the icing is belended - it increases size quickly - so please make sure that you use a LARGE DEEP POT !!!!
2. Pour the mixture into a large pan, lined with foil, it needs atleast 6 inch sides and 12 inches round. The mixture will be very foamy at first but will quickly harden to look like porous rock.
3. Break the cooled sugar rocks into pieces. These rocks will keep indefinately. Good Luck !
