Hey guys, it's Ro, welcome to another Nerdy Nummies
I got so many requests from you guys to make another recipe from the Nerdy Nummies cookbook
So that's exactly what we're gonna be doing today
Gems and stones can be found in so many different video games including one of my favorite games, Zelda
You collect a little rupees, so today we are gonna be making rupee hard candies
The recipe is a simple hard candy recipe, which you can dye to be different colors
And we're gonna be using the mold from my baking line
We're gonna be using this shape this gem shape is a hexagon which means it has six sides
And it's the most similar looking to a rupie. I just love this gem mold
It's so cute
And it has shapes that I have been wanting for a really long time. And side note, you guys our swirl
silicone mold was trending number one on Amazon for
molds. If you want to help this mold become number one mold on Amazon, I'll put a link down below because if this becomes number one
then the poo mold becomes
number two. (laughing)
In the book, I dyed the rupies red blue and green because I felt those were the most iconic
But I really love this recipe because you can make them any color you want. Today,
we're gonna be making the same hard candies with the same colors, but I'm gonna be using different flavors
Let's get started! The things you'll need to make these hard candies will be: a mold
I'm using the mold from my baking line
And I'm only gonna be using the hexagon shapes. For the recipe, you'll need three cups of sugar
3/4 cup water, 1 cup of light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon of blueberry oil. 1 drop a blue dye
1 teaspoon of strawberry oil, one drop of red dye, one teaspoon of green apple oil, and one drop of green
dye now. Let's put it all together! The ingredients in front of me is enough to make 3 different colors
I like to make mine one at a time because when you're working with hot candy
I don't like to separate it and move it around too much because it's just so hot the first thing that we're gonna do is
Take 1/3 of our sugar
water and corn syrup and pour them into a pot. Pour our sugar, that means we'll need 1
cup then. We'll need a quarter cup of water and a third cup of corn syrup Woah! (laughing)
There we go! Then we add the one drop of food coloring
I'm gonna start with green because I'm wearing a green shirt and the flavoring that we're using is apple
And I just love apple hard candy so start with the good stuff. It's all good, but this is just like my favorite
Use a toothpick to scoop, it in mix together until all the sugar is wet now
We'll take this sauce pot over to the stove. Place your pot onto the stove turn the heat to medium and allow the sugar to
completely dissolve. Once dissolved, place the candy thermometer into your pot and cook the candy until it reaches
275 degrees. Then, turn off the stove heat and take your candy syrup back to the baking station. Once you take your hard candy off
the stove, pour
immediately into a heat safe container with a pour spout at the end. And before we pour the candy into the mold add your
Flavoring I'm using green apple! Whisk together work that flavoring in there. Oh
yeah! Now pour your hot candy syrup into your mold and be careful because it's very hot
I'm only filling them about
2/3 because I want them to be a little bit more bite-sized. Once you've poured the candy, let them sit for 45
minutes to harden. While this sits, I'm gonna make a couple more batches using our other colors. You can do it
this way if you have multiple molds otherwise just wait till they've hardened and repeat
I've given the candies plenty of time to harden. Pop them out, it's super easy
This is one of the reasons why I love
Silicone molds because they're bendy! Tug this way, tug, tug, tug, stretch it out, and the other way, then
flip it upside down and pop 'em out!
These look amazing! Oh my gosh you guys! Now do this for the rest of your candy
Tada! There you have it here are the rupee hard candies that we made today. The recipe is from the Nerdy Nummies cookbook
But, we switched the flavorings. We made green apple flavored, blueberry, and strawberry.
One of the things that I love about hard candy recipes, is it's very customizable. You can make your hard candies any colors
you'd like and any flavor. growing up one of my favorite candies were Jolly Ranchers
So I love making a homemade hard candy recipe.
Easy-peasy bite-sized and delicious! omnomnomnomnom
