Thank you for sharing!

(Inside: So, I really like the idea of glass you can eat. Not really, but Sugar Glass is pretty cool and you can make some adorable things with it. And seriously, who doesn’t love candy glass sticking out of a cupcake?! Because they DO go together. I seriously have the best recipe for how to make sugar glass. )

Let’s be brutally honest.

Candy Glass is a really cool treat.

Not cool–because it’s like room temperature, unless you’ve had it in the fridge…but I digress.

Sugar glass is cool because it can BE so many things.

Ice from Elsa’s Castle? Yep.

Smashed glass for a trick scaring your parents? Yep.

A piece of glass in a Murdered Cupcake with a few drops (ok a lot of drops) of edible fake blood. Yep.

Basically, it’s like the fun tool for Halloween dessert decorating that I never thought I’d be able to make…

Frankly, I love it.

Or, maybe I’m in love because I’ve been up for almost 48 hours straight with two screaming kids in my ear and dogs howling in response.

Seriously–as if I don’t hear the baby crying, the dog has to cry too?

Torture.

Pure, unadulterated torture.

I need another batch of Edible Sugar Glass Recipe just to keep me on a sugar-high enough to stay awake and finish this post…what a tragedy! LOL!

Speaking of…I totally wrote this Spectacularly Spooky Halloween Recipes book with my friend Stephanie. We worked hard to come up with over 50 recipes that are sure to spook-ify you to your bones, so if you have a minute to check it out…it’s awesome.

Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated white sugar
• 3/4 cups of water
• 2/3 cups light corn syrup
• flavoring oil if desired, I did not use any for this but have used coconut in the past and it is divine!
• candy thermometer

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan add in the sugar, corn syrup, and water.
2. Insert the candy thermometer and bring to a boil. Stir constantly until the thermometer reaches 300 degrees.
3. Once at 300 degrees, remove from heat and transfer immediately to a baking pan (lined with wax paper or sprayed with nonstick).
4. Allow it to sit until hardened (about 2 hours). Make sure to cover it while it sits.
5. Once hardened lift the pan up and drop straight down to crack the glass. Repeat until you have fragments at a desired size.
