And also after it is set, do I store in the fridge or just on the bench? I live in an area that can be humid at times. I have tried a different recipe for toffee which set nice and hard, but the surface was quite sticky. The intended use for this glass is to use in a stage show and broken over someone's head, don't particularly want it to stick to them! LizChelsea Sugar:The setting candy can be covered with a sheet of baking paper. Please store the sugar glass in the fridge., approved=true, user_name=Liz, hs_createdate=1702249860256, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175611755}]}

Method

Here's How: Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Place the sheet in the refrigerator to chill.
Pour the sugar into a small pan on a stove over low heat.
Stir continuously until the sugar melts (takes a while). If you have a candy thermometer, remove from heat at the hard crack stage (clear glass).
If the sugar is heated just past the hard crack stage it will turn amber (coloured translucent glass).
Pour the melted sugar onto the cooled pan. Allow it to cool.
The glass can be used as candy windows, for Gingerbread Houses or Sugarcube Houses.
Tips: Boiling water will dissolve the sugar and speed clean-up.
The glass can be coloured using food colouring. Add the colouring after the sugar has finished cooking and has cooled slightly.
Please use adult supervision for this one! Molten sugar can cause serious burns.
