Make Your Own Candy Corn

 

Here is the recipe that goes along with the video:

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

1/4 cup dry powdered milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup corn syrup

1/3 cup unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Food coloring

Directions:

1. Combine confectioners’ sugar, powdered milk, and salt in a bowl and set aside.

2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and cook for another five minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

4. Add the dry milk mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine. Let mixture rest for a few minutes until it is cool enough to handle.

5. Divide dough into 3 equal parts and place each portion in a bowl.  Add coloring as desired. [This means one part yellow and one part orange!]

6. Knead each portion of dough until the coloring is evenly distributed and the dough is smooth and stiff.

7. Roll each portion into a rope about 1/2 inch thick.

8. Place the three ropes of dough next to each other to form a long rectangle. Use a rolling pin to gently press them together.

9. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into triangles and place on a baking sheet. Let set for about 1 hour.
