Title: Movie Glass
Categories: Candies
Yield: 1 Servings

1/2 c Water
1 3/4 c White sugar
1 tb Light corn syrup

Boil the water and stir in the sugar and syrup.
Let it reach a hard boil. Boil six minutes. This
will be extremely hot; over 300-|F - and very
dangerous to get on your skin.

Carefully pour it onto a clean plate. Let cool
for an hour and it will pop out of the plate.

This is break-away glass, like they use to smash over
people's heads in the movies. It is also hard candy.
