Ingredients
  • 6 cups sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • candy flavoring (optional)
Instructions
  1. Combine equal parts of sugar and water (2 cups water and 2 cups sugar) in a saucepan and heat until all of the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Slowly add in more sugar until all of the sugar is dissolved.
  3. If desired, add candy flavoring and continue to heat until the syrup begins to simmer.
  4. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  5. While it is cooling, you can prepare your sticks. You can use skewers cut to a desirable length for your jars.
  6. Dip sticks into the syrup and then roll them in sugar.
  7. Place sugared sticks on a plate to dry (about 15 minutes) completely.
  8. Add a little food coloring to your champagne flutes or mason jars.
  9. Pour cooled syrup into glasses and stir to combine food coloring.
  10. Place dried sticks into glasses and secure with a clothespin, making sure it does not touch the sides or bottom.
  11. That's it! Let them grow 1-2 weeks for best results.
Notes
Let them dry before wrapping. I used clear plastic sacks that I cut in half to wrap them in and tied a little ribbon around to close them up.
