Question by Cuylar Preuss: How do you make rock candy without strings or sticks? Please help.?
Me and my science teacher are making a business by selling sweets to middle schoolers or around my nieghborhood and we have a plan to sell these toothpicks soaked in pure cinnamon but we want to expand to rock candy. We’ve been successul in the recipe for Cinna-Picks, but we need a recipe for rock candy WITHOUT STICKS OR STRINGS. The best answer will be E-mailed the recipe for Cinna-Picks. PS what price would you reccomend
Best answer:
Answer by Kim R As I understand it, you have to have something for the rock candy crystals to cling to and grow on as they’re made, so you have to have something such as string or sticks to make it work. I’d charge 50 cents each. Good luck!
Question by Lexi: How do you make rock candy on a stick?
I need help on how to make rock candy on a stick. How do I make it and what do I use? Thanks(;
Best answer:
Answer by Twevle R 4 cups sugar 1 cup corn syrup 1 cup water Candy thermometer Wooden spoon Quart glass jar Small piece of ¼-inch Styrofoam to cover jar 4 8 inch or longer bamboo skewers
Place the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a pot and mix with a wooden spoon. A heavy-duty aluminum pot works best, because it will conduct the heat evenly.
Cook the mixture until the temperature reaches 300 degrees; use a candy thermometer to determine the exact temperature. Stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon to avoid burning.
Pour the sugar solution into the glass jar and cover with the Styrofoam.
Push the skewers through the Styrofoam until they are about ¼ inch from the bottom of the jar. Leave at least 1½ inches between skewers to allow for the sugar crystals to grow.
Set the jar aside where it will remain untouched but can be viewed. After about a week, you should have your rock candy on a stick ready to remove.
Rinse each piece under cold water and set it on a piece of wax paper to dry.
Daisy Rock Guitars has made guitars with girls in mind. Up until now, guitars may seem cumbersome and awkward for girls go play. This may cause feelings in the girl that they are not capable of learning to play guitar. Thanks to this guitar line, things are different now.
The Daisy Rock guitars are made with sleeker necks and slimmer bodies which make playing easier for girls. They are lighter weight, but still made with high quality.
Being a mother of 2 daughters and a musician, I am happy there are guitars made to inspire my girls to play guitar and to learn music. Music helps develop the brain for math and sciences. It is related to critical thinking and problem solving. And, of course, makes a wonderful creative outlet so they can express emotions in a positive way.
These guitars were inspired by female musician, rocker and music lover, Tish Ciravolo. She combined her love of music with a desire to “level the playing field” for girls who want to learn to play guitar as well as dedicated female musicians. Tish began the Daisy Rock Guitars in 2000 with a dream that “every girl who wants to play guitar is welcomed and inspired to do so.”
These instruments are not only for the beginner guitarist or young girl, they are used by professional musicians as well, both male and female. Some names you might recognize that use them are Joan Jett, Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart, The Go-Go’s Jane Wiedlin and Kathy Valentine and Vicki Peterson from the Bangles.
You will also find some men who use the Daisy Rock Guitars because of their uniqueness. Some musicians include Robert Smith of the Cure, Chris Stein from Blondie, The New York Dolls Sylvain Sylvainand and guitar player for Norah Jones, Adam Levy.
If you decide to check out the Daisy Rock guitars, keep in mind there are two lines; the Debutante line by Daisy Rock and the Daisy Rock line by Daisy Rock. Both high quality, but for two different players in mind.
The Debutante line is set at a smaller price scale and geared toward the younger and beginner female player. The guitars are smaller and you can even find a “short scale” guitar for even smaller bodies. These guitars come in both electric and acoustic guitars with beautiful designs to inspire the younger girl to want to play while maintaining quality.
The Daisy Rock line is geared toward the more seasoned player and musician. This line comes in a variety of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars and even electric/acoustic.
Both lines come with the slimmer and narrow neckline easier for smaller hands to play. You will find humbucker pickups for multiple tones, pick-up selector switch, and master tone control and most have set-neck construction for durability.
If you are looking for a gift, check out the guitar packs. The acoustic guitar pack is called the Daisy Rock Debutante Junior Miss Acoustic. You get a smaller and more lightweight guitar with a slim neck, a tuner, guitar picks and guitar strap. The colors vary from Bubble Gum Pink, Cotton Candy Blue and Popsicle Purple.
The electric pack comes with the guitar, gig bag, electronic tuner, strap, picks, string winder, and polishing cloth. The guitars come is a variety with the most popular being the pink electric guitar called the Daisy Rock Debutante Rock Candy Princess in Atomic Pink. But you can also find this pack with the Heartbreaker Short Scale guitar (shaped like a heart) and the Debutante Butterfly Short Scale Guitar.
If you want to inspire your girls to learn music and play guitar, start with a guitar from this line that will inspire them to play. I know my daughters love their guitars and one of them walks around with the guitar strapped to her whether she is practicing or not. As a mom, this makes me happy and I know my girls will have an easier time sticking to their practice schedules. A big thank you from me, to Daisy Rock Guitars.

Question by Danielle-Orian: How to make rock candy on a skewer stick?
In my science class we are learning about solids, liquids, and gasses. For extra credit you can make rock candy and explain how they form. I have seen some recipes but most of them involve using string. I just want to be able to make them on a stick(Skewer). So a recipe would be nice and a website that explains how rock candy forms. Thank You.
Best answer:
Answer by Miz Lamb Use the same recipe as for using a string to crystalize the sugar syrup. Just stick the popcicle stick or tooth pick or bamboo skewer in the syrup instead of a string.
It doesn’t matter what the item is you wish to have the candy crystalize on to the sugar syrup. It will crystalize no matter if you don’t put any thing in there for it to climb. It will settle on the bottom of the glass or jar.
Rock candy is a confectionery mineral made of large sugar crystals. It forms when a super saturated solution of sugar crystallizes onto a surface suitable for crystal growth, such as a cotton string or a wooden skewer. Online stores like Candy.com and Candy Warehouse offer a wide variety of rock candy.
The Science of It
The secret to making rock candy is to use a solution with twice as much sugar as water. It must be so high in sugar that no more sugar can be dissolved in it. A physical support for crystal growth, such as string or a skewer, is lowered into the super saturated sugar solution and left undisturbed for several days to a week. This allows the rock candy crystal to form as the water evaporates. When the support is removed from the remaining solution, it is laden with large, jagged sugar crystals.
Add Sugar to Boiling Water
Slowly add the sugar to boiling water, one cup at a time. Allow each addition to dissolve and return to boiling. Continue to add sugar until it begins to collect at the bottom of the jar, even when stirred. This means that the sugar solution is saturated. If it is not saturated, the crystals will not grow. If there is too much sugar, the crystals will grow on the undissolved sugar, not on the string. Heating the water before adding the sugar allows more sugar to dissolve and subsequently forms larger crystals.
Add Food Coloring and Extract
When all of the sugar is dissolved, remove the pan from heat and add two to three drops of food coloring and 1 teaspoon of flavored extract, if desired. Allow sugar solution to cool for 10 minutes before pouring into a clean, dry glass jar. Be careful not allow any undissolved sugar on the bottom of the pan to get into jar.
Create Crystals
Cut a length of string a few inches longer than the height of the jar and tie it to the center of a pencil or a simple wooden skewer. Wet the string or wooden skewer and roll it in granulated sugar to make a base layer for the sugar crystals to “grab.” Rest the pencil across the top of the jar and wind it until the string is hanging one inch from the bottom of the jar. Weigh the string down with a paperclip. Crystals will readily form on cotton or wool string or yarn; they will not form on nylon line. A “lollipop” alternative is to use a wooden skewer as the base of your rock candy. Simply use clothespins balanced across the top of the jar to hold it in place.
Cover jar with a paper towel or coffee filter to keep dust out and place in a cool, dark place where it will be undisturbed. Crystals will begin to form on the string within a day. Allow to grow until crystals are desired size or they stop growing. Pull string out of solution and set aside to dry.
Question by HungryCollegeSenior : My 10-pound dog just ate a whole candy bar rock. Is it ok?
My dachshund mix 10 pounds ate a whole bar of rock candy (crystallized sugar on a stick of wood). Do you think it will be fine? He has not vomited and seems no different. Please let me know. Best answer:
Reply by Jessie He should be fine, yes. Could have an upset stomach, but I’d be surprised if something else happened while I was in a stick of papel.Es might want to call your veterinarian for advice of all signs to do since that would mean you are having difficulties with their high sugar large.

are one of the easiest things to do. In order to prepare a meal, however, you need to know what it is. Many people believe that sweets and chocolate to be one and the same thing. However, there is more to this fun-filled chocolate delights is sticky. The different types of candy including hard, soft and sweet. Truffles and pallets are easy recipes you can make in your kitchen.
Making rock candy at home is a source of pleasure, and you can add your own creativity to the recipe. You can experiment with different flavors and colors to reach new and interesting treats. In fact, the whole family can join in the fun!
To begin the process of making candy, dip a piece of thread in the water for some time. Then tie the string to a stick or a pencil and place the pen in the mouth of the jar. To help the thread to hang straight, you can attach a paper clip for her. The next step is to pull the thread dipped in granulated sugar. This action helps the sugar crystals to stay stuck like rock candy begins to form. You can prepare the sugar syrup in your house or buy it already made in your local supermarket. Pour sugar syrup into the jar.
Carefully lower the string into the jar until it is about one inch from the bottom. Now cover the jar with a paper towel or plastic and wait for sugar crystals to adjust. It will take about two to four hours for the sugar to crystallize.
Lollipops is another easy dessert recipe. The ingredients for a recipe for lollipops are granulated sugar, water and corn syrup. In a saucepan, combine 3 ½ cups powdered sugar, one cup water and 1 ½ cup corn syrup. Then heat the mixture until the sugar dissolve properly. It is important to stir continuously until mixture reaches a boil. Remove pan from heat and add in your own tastes and colors. The ideal temperature for the caramel to boil properly is 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
This easy recipe shows that the candy is not a difficult task and it is still a long time. Along with that, sweet home of rock does not include chemicals and other additives. This makes it a healthy drink for children too.
Moreover, they are extremely easy to make. Just follow me.
Get a clean jar, along with a cotton thread. Tie the thread to a pencil. Put it across the edge of the jar. Ideally, the thread hangs an inch above the base of the jar. Also add a tiny paper clip right to the base of the thread. This is to ensure that the thread weighs down only a little and stays hanging straight. This helps you to understand the height of the thread. Make the thread a little wet and start rolling in the granulated sugar.
The base of the layer will this way let the sugar crystals to easily “grab” something as the crystals start to form. Be sure to keep the thread set onto the sides. This is to dry it as you prepare the sweet sugar syrup. Pick any recipe you want.
Implement it on the sugar. Wait till it’s done. Then pour it inside the jar. Now dip the sugared string into it. Make sure it remains one inch above the base. Cover the top of the jar. Use a normal paper towel here. You’re likely to see those sugar crystals forming in a matter of 2-4 hours. It’s best to let the rock candy grow naturally till it reaches an ideal size. But don’t allow it to overgrow, touching the sides of the jar sides. Simple, isn’t it?
There’s another simple, yet efficient recipe to deal with hard candy types as lollipops. You can prepare it with simple ingredients like water, clean granulated sugar and some corn syrup. Mix 3 and a half cups of granulated sugar with 1 and a half cups of corn syrup and 1 cup of water. Heat this mixture on average heat and let the sugar dissolve. Stir the mixture. Let all the ingredients melt together. Increase the heat up to boiling temperature. Boil it without stirring until your thermometer reads 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take the pan away from the heat source. Add some flavor and food color, as it’s a great thing to do for making the candy look appealing. Be careful about mixing it up carefully. Pour some of the candy mixture into a candy mold. Do not touch your candy mixture – it’s too hot! You might get burnt.
Add some lollipop sticks to allow the candy molds cool down on the counter. For the best results, the candies should be entirely set and cooled down. As the candy cools down, it’ll also harden naturally. Turn over the mold and softly pop the candies off the mold and on plain wax paper. Any other soft surface (e.g. a towel) would do. Then wrap up your candies in cellophane. Following a few secrets makes your life easier. Boil the sugar to 300° F.
Inadequately hardened candies can end up being really sticky and more often than not, these “bad” candies are the reason for the mess that is around you. The biggest mistake committed by first-time candy makers is stirring the sugar solution for too long. Make sure you avoid this kind of risk, by flavoring or coloring the mixture in a little bowl. In other words, when you take your sugar solution off the heat, carefully pour some flavor as well as color mixture in the pot swiftly and keep stirring till the color becomes even. Don’t stir that solution for more than 4 seconds.

Make your own sweet edible crystal creation! Mix 1 cup of water with 3 cups of sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and then remove from heat. Add food colour or some flavouring (vanilla, peppermint extract, cherry extract etc.) if desired (optional). Stir. Pour into a glass container and suspend string, a pipecleaner solution. After a few days crystal will begin to grown on the object suspended in the liquid. Pour into new container if there are too many sugar crystals on the bottom or sides of the container. **note: I’ve had a couple of questions regarding using less sugar. The trick is to make sure you have a 3:1 ratio of sugar to water. So… 1 1/2 cups of sugar to 1/2 cup of water is an example of a smaller recipe. If you do reduce it the amount of syrup, make sure your container is tall and skinny (like a tall drinking glass) and that the string or pipecleaner you are using is completely immersed. ***FAQ’s****** – I have heard that you can use a wooden skewer or chopstick or a popsicle stick but I’ve never tried it myself so I don’t know if that works or not. 2.You can also use string instead of the pipe cleaner, but it may be more difficult to get it to sink straight down into the jar. It may not work if the string is very thin or very smooth. You may have to weight it with something like a clean new paper clip or a life saver candy or use a very rough fuzzy string Viewers have told me that the string must also be fairly thick and it is better … Video Rating: 4 / 5
