    Growing up I had an Aunt and Cousin that use to make these a good bit. Was sort of "Their Project" to do together especially around the holidays. I was so envious of them but fortunately they usually made enough to share when I would visit. Haven't thought about making these in years. Might be a good project for the grandkids one day.

      You are very welcome!! Have fun making it! If you are doing it for a Science experiment, I recommend doing a few variations. You could also put some in complete dark, like in a pantry, and then others put on the window sil in the direct light. And maybe another jar with candy in it in at normal house light. So you can see how light plays a role if any. Maybe try one with a stick and another with a string and see how the crystals grow. Lots of fun things you can do in the name of science with this.

      Thanks! You can reuse it to make more, just heat it up and an another cup of sugar to replace the sugar that grew on the stick.

    Hi. I remember Rock Candy from my childhood-in about 1955. Since then I did not see it around. Now I am over 70 y.o. and by a chance I was shopping in Chinese grocery and they had Rock Candy. I bought it and found, that the sugar is a lot less sweet then if you just take in the crystal form from grocery. And I am wondering if the change it the sweetness is caused by it's crystaline form or if the Chinese add something to the sugar to make it crystalize better or faster and as a secondary effect the sugar is less sweet.

      Hello!! No that is correct, rock candy has a milder sweetness than the table sugar it is made from. Because it is made from water diluted sugar. :)

    Hey Matt, thanks for the video! I was just wondering what you are using for flavoring?

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt Před rokem

      Thanks!! Any hard candy flavoring will work. They can be found on Amazon, cake decorating stores will probably have them, Walmart may have them. Here is an example on Amazon amzn.to/3IKpsG6

    Hello Matt, thanks for sharing. I do have a question, can I insert more than one stick in same jar at the same time?
    Secondly, can I reuse the colored sugar mix after 7 days of forming the first rock candy?

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt Před 10 měsíci

      Hi there, no you can't, they will grow together and stick, unless the jar is really wide and the sticks are at least 2 inches apart. You can reused the sugar liquid, however you will need to heat it in again and add an additional cup of sugar to make up for the sugar that grew, because what is leftover isn't very concentrated. If that makes sense?

  • @leandroterrero6016
    @leandroterrero6016 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Can you reuse the jar if it has leftover liquid until it runs out? Or only to a certain extent

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt Před 9 měsíci

      You would need to reheat the leftover liquid and add about another cup of sugar to make up for the sugar loss, otherwise it won't be concentrated enough.

    How did the plastic cups handle the heat from the sugar syrup? Want to do rock candy for a lab for my 6th grade science class.

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt Před rokem +1

      It works quite well, as long as the syrup isn't too hot, so just let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes before pouring it into the cups. Fun idea for science class! I recommend giving it a try on your own first, it can be a little finicky. I will always remember my high school Chemistry class where we made ice cream with. Food science is so fun!

    Can you use any kind of sugar or does it have to be sugar crytal from the start?

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt Před 2 lety

      Hi Lisa, I have only tried it with white granulated sugar, so I can't say how it will work with others.

    Yo mate,I was planning to made this but I have a question tho, after we put them in the cups or jars do we put them into a fridge? Or out of the fridge?

    Hey Matt! Thanks, I needed this for my Science Project. (In Which Environment Does Rock Candy Grow Best?)

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt Před 3 lety

      You are welcome!! I am not sure, but I assume a dryer environment works better than one with lots of humidity, but I don't know for sure. It grows great here in Phoenix, AZ which is hot and dry climate.

    Hey Matt, how difficult are the jars to clean after your candy has formed?

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt Před 3 lety +1

      Not too bad, just get your tap water really hot and allow it to run into the jars, it will melt the candy. :)

    • @lisaborsch8933
      @lisaborsch8933 Před 2 lety

      Matt's reply just gave me a brilliant idea on how to melt nerds candy to infuse it into jello! Thanks so much. I'm now thinking that nerds could be used as the sugar in this project too!

    How do you suggest making it in large quantities? Can you triple etc the recipe and it turn out the same?

    • @inthekitchenwithmatt
      @inthekitchenwithmatt Před rokem

      Sure it all depends on how many containers you have and how large you want to make them. You can triple the recipe and then use smaller plastic cups and make several of them. I showed the plastic cup version in the video. The really large ones need a larger container.
