Instructions
-
Combine sugar and water in a bowl, stirring until fully moistened to a wet sand consistency.
-
If desired, incorporate a small amount of coloring and flavoring, mixing thoroughly; add more color cautiously if needed.
-
If the mixture is too dry, add water a spoonful at a time until workable.
-
Firmly press the sugar into candy mold cavities, then scrape off any excess from the tops.
-
Allow the sugar to dry completely at room temperature for 1 hour to overnight, or microwave safe molds for 25-30 seconds, then cool.
-
Gently remove the dried sugar shapes from the molds.
-
Let the shapes air dry completely at room temperature if necessary.
-
Store finished sugar cubes indefinitely in an airtight container.
