Hey Matt. The first time I made this I used Cinnamon and the family loved it. A word of caution (other than working with HOT molten sugar) when adding extract like Cinnamon or Peppermint don't lean over and look down into the pot while adding the extract! It will send off fumes and WILL take your breath away for a moment. LOL
@@anniemannie6 - When adding flavoring extracts to the molten sugar it will steam or gas off. The first time I made it I didn't think about it and was looking down into the pot when I added it. In an instant there was no oxygen and I almost blacked out. Yikes! I am careful, very careful every time now!
"Hello and welcome! Today we are cooking crystal methamphetamine right at your home kitchen! Now the ingredients may include but are not limited too: Methylamine, Hot Pepper, Food coloring and some slighty less legal substances."
Thank you and you are very welcome! Let me know how it turns out once you try it. I would give it a trial run first before you actually need it for your baked goods, so you can get a feel for the process. :) But it is pretty easy, especially if you use a candy thermometer.
If anybody is wondering, I’m pretty sure the correct name for this is Tanghulu. The traditional way is to dip it in fruits and eat it like candied fruit. It’s really nice!!
It very well could have come from that. But no one uses that name in the West. Here it is called sugar glass or edible glass. :) But that is awesome! Sugar glass also known as breakaway glass has been used in movies for decades to mimic glass but be a lot safer for the actors and stunts performed.
This is a year late but that's not what tanghulu is. I'm Chinese, and tanghulu is actually the snack of the hawthorn fruits dipped in sugar, not just the sugar coating itself. It is the same method of making it though.
Hey Matt, great video ! Can I ask how did you get the glass crystal clear? Did you just keep watching and took it away when it started to turn yellow? Thanks !!
Hi Charlie! Yes that is exactly right. Just when it barely started to turn yellow, I took it off the heat. Instead of going by the exact temp on the thermometer. This post I have on my website may help out a bit more. inthekitchenwithmatt.com/edible-sugar-glass
You are welcome Howard! I haven't done anything with it yet. No it won't melt at room temp. It needs to be really really hot before it will melt again. Just store it in a zip lock bag if you like in the pantry or somewhere. :)
that will be super at christmas time , need some silicone mold having trees form or teddy , or stars etc etc , christmas light and sugar glass will working beautiful together ! thank u for ur video ! :)
Great video, Matt! I've been trying to get a clear, colorless sugar glass, but I'm plagued by lots of bubbles inside and a surface that doesn't cool to be glossy. My current recipe involves sugar, corn syrup, and water like yours but I haven't yet introduced cream of tartar. I'm also not using silicone..... so I'm wondering if my method is cooling down the sugar too quickly.... Do you have any thought about what I should pay attention to? Thanks a bunch!
Thank you!! You can try and poke out the bubbles with something like toothpick, that will help. It very well could be cooling too quickly. But yea, I don't think it is the recipe, all of them are pretty similar. You may try the cream of tartar, that is "supposed" to help stabilize it. Technically you can make sugar glass with just water and sugar haha.
I find that if you cook sugar in too high of a humidity it just doesn’t turn out right. I find 50% humidity or below works best. Obviously the lower, the better. Also if you stir the mixture up a bit, as if you were stirring in a color and flavoring, then that should eliminate a good chunk of bubbles. If you’re pouring directly from the pan to the flat sheet, the mixture hasn’t had enough time to “settle” before being set up. Good luck!
Im no cook, but I know that if you want clear ice that looks like glass, you need pure/distilled water, and you need a vibrating plate of some sort. The vibrations allow all of the air to escape. The distilled water will be more clear than just regular tap water. But it's the vibrations that mainly get the bubbles out.
Hi that was great can I use rice syrup as have an allergy to corn and how do I make it clear as I want to make icicles to come off the sides of my gingerbread house thanks
Hi there! You can technically just leave the syrup out all together. I have not tried it with rice syrup. You need to take it off the heat before it starts turning color and it will be clear.
The liquid is pretty hot, to be safe I would use a metal ice cube tray. Spray it witch cooking spray first. It will take a lot longer to harden because it is thicker. But it should work. although I haven't tried it myself.
Hi Jennifer, it is not recommended to put really hot things in the fridge, especially a big sheet pan of sugar glass. It is better to wait for the hour to let it cool naturally. Then after that you can store it in the fridge.
Thank you so much! This is perfect for Christmas stained glass sugar cookies. But just wondering, will it make a big difference if I don’t add the corn syrup?
Hi Vee! Did you see my stained glass cookies video yet? th-cam.com/video/m8Irxk0JA1M/w-d-xo.html You can still make it without the corn syrup, it just won't be as stable of a glass.
Got the karo syrup today so i could try this tomorrow! Yaay! I got some watermelon,strawberry and grape flavoring from the wilton cake isle at Wallmart too 😂 Gonna be so fun!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Thank you Mr. Matt! Me too! The only issue i had was thinking i had time to flavor it after i brought it off the heat smh 😂 But if you are looking for a good way to cut it up into small pieces... with the 2nd batch I poured it into two parchment lined bread pans, then just when it starts to set pull it out, spread out the parchment and score it "long ways, cross ways, long ways, cross ways etc." Until it cools enough to break up 👍 It works great that way. We wouldn't be enjoying this great candy if I hadn't seen your video so thank you for sharing!
@@ashleyladuke1701 Yeah you only have a few minutes after you take it off the heat before it starts to thicken up haha. Awesome idea on the scoring! Great tip for cutting it up. :) So glad you like it and you are very welcome! :)
Have you tried using tiny silicone molds to make tiny candies? I just bought a mold with tiny hearts on it and I was going to try this recipe with it to make tiny candy hearts.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I'd always been interested in how sugar glass was made, going to make a video in the coming years a sort of yeah maybe a series of my own using something like that perhaps not too sure. With the bonus of using a completely free video editor can add some pretty nice things in that forgot its name completely though haha. Like also realising for stuff say like this th-cam.com/video/GnyYKwXJCgc/w-d-xo.html especially when things are meant to be wood is likely to be something like bolser wood I think its called or maybe plywood oh honestly some of those had me laughing my ass off lol Great tip as well lol avoid hurting someone haha.
Right when it is done add the blue food coloring. You really need to watch it and take the hot sugar off the heat right when it starts to turn yellow. :) If you keep going you will wind up making a darken one.
Hello Monica, you cooked the sugar too long. You need to take it off the heat right when the color starts turning yellow. It may be easier if you follow the recipe on the website: inthekitchenwithmatt.com/edible-sugar-glass
Thanks Matt for answering my other questions but I have to more can you put the glass into silicone molds and can you also put these in an fridge or freezer to help the cooling process or no
Hello! Yes you can put it in silicone molds, but be careful when pouring the melted sugar, it will be hot! Don't put it in the fridge or freezer, it needs to cool down slowly. :)
No doubt! haha, I dressed up as him for halloween 2 years ago, I was going to be dressed up as him while I made this video, but didn't wind up doing it. lol
@@demonofyou4 Here is a video I did about Halloween costumes, where I am dressed up like Heisenberg. Not the best match but still fun, haha th-cam.com/video/rPq_H4WkD4o/w-d-xo.html
Usually hard candy like this is flavored with an extract. So if you wanted lemon flavor you would use lemon extract. :) I haven't tried it with actual juice, not sure it will work. But it is an easy experiment to try, so go for it.
You certainly can! It will be a little tricky, I don't recommend making as much. Make a smaller batch and use smaller pot, that will allow you to pour it easier. Also, use a thermometer, or take it off the heat right at the slightest hint of yellow, and that way you are sure to not let it get to brown.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt -- I did try it and it came out great so far. But I was just experimenting. Now I am thinking of breaking up my results and just "gluing" them on to the back of the windows with sugar icing. It's not nice and thin (I wanted to make it thin), I might. One reason I did the experiment was to find out how long it would stay liquid and whether I could re-heat it in case it starts to harden. I have 23 windows to do. But it took about 10 minutes before it started to harden so that's plenty of time. :D Thanks again. BTW, as I was cleaning up, I used a little-known tip to make it easy. Most never think of it and it's so obvious. Just fill the pan with water and put it back on the stove. Turn up the heat and let boil. The extra liquid will dilute the sugar and with the heat, all you have to do is pour down the sink once it has boiled. ;) OR you can pour that boiling water into the used pan, which also has your wooden spoon and candy thermometer and let the boiling hot water clean them, too.
@@marigeobrien Glad you tried it out!! haha yes, I always put water back in the pot and boil it to clean it up. So easy! If you want the glass thinner, you will just need to pour less of it to fill up the window space. Good luck and have fun!
Can someone tell me what I did wrong? :( my mixture came out like a very hard and gooey consistency and it never hardened, can someone tell me if I need to leave it boiling longer?
Hi there, yes you needed to boil it longer. That it the most common cause for it not hardening. Did you wait for it to start to change colors while it was boiling? It takes quite awhile.
Yes you sure can. Yes you can make it now and use it the next day. store it flat in a zip lock bag, but don't let the sugar glass pieces touch each other or they will stick. You can also stack them with parchment paper in between the layers too. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.
Hello, it is 1/2 to 1 cup. Anywhere in between that amount, it doesn't matter. :) Also the recipe and ingredients are all listed down in the description box under the video. :)
I made this in homec class indicted the greenish color that broken glass tends to look like put it in a plastic Ziploc bag and walked around school and eat it freaking people out it was pretty fun a pretty tasty I give it a spearmint flavor
Hi there, it is called a "sheet pan". I also used a silicone baking mat on top of it, but that isn't necessary, you can just spray the pan with cooking spray, or rub a bit of cooking oil on it. :)
I followed the recipe but it’s been about 2.5 hours and it’s not hardening up. Do I need to start over? Or should I just wait longer? What do you think could’ve gone wrong?
Hi Noelle! You could wait a little longer. But it sounds like the sugar solution wasn't quite at the right temperature, that is usually the problem when it won't harden.
Hello Antonella it really depends, it is never the same, 5 to 10 minutes, and then once it starts boiling, it needs to boil until it just barely starts to turn amber in color.
As I was watching this it reminded me of stain glass windows. It would be awesome to somehow incorporate this sugar glass into an art project. Maybe a framed box on the wall with an LED light inside. "Kids, NO playing ball in the house!!!" ha ha
Hi Matt, I want to make a sage colour edible sugar to use for decoration on cake pops for a wedding. I wanted to add gold leaf to it. Do you think this would work and at what stage would i place the gold leaf, when its completely cooled or still warm? Thanks in advance!
Hello, Ika, I don't have a ton of experience with edible gold leaf. I think it may work though, I would put it on after it has completely cooled. With that said, you may want to experiment first before you make your whole plan around that. :) Sounds like a fun project! Let me know how it turns out. Be very careful with the temp of the sugar solution, just until it starts to turn amber/yellow, otherwise, if it gets too dark it will be hard to color it to the color you want.
Store them flat, not touching each other, between something like wax paper or parchment paper in a ziplock bag at room temp. It will last longer in a low humid environment. It can last quite a long time. If conditions are not ideal, then it can start to curl, lose its shape, etc.
I really enjoyed your video> Im currently in culinary school for pastry and baking. One thing I noticed though was that you stirred your sugar. Just curious if there was a reason you did that?
It really isn't necessary, you just don't want it to burn, unless you really want that dark "bottle" color. And just make sure you have a good working thermometer. Or if you are eyeballing it, right when it barely starts to turn yellowish, remove it.
Hey! Is ir okay if we just put it directky on a tray? Or does there HAVE to be the weird parchement paper thing? Is there any alternatives like aluminum foil or saram rap?
Technically yes, you can make sugar glass with just water and sugar. It won't be quite as stable, if you don't use the corn syrup, but it should still work.
Hi!!!!! Thank you so much for the helpful video!! This is awesome! I’m doing some Christmas prep (I’m insane, I know) and I keep seeing gingerbread houses with clear glass. Would this recipe work? I’m also very afraid of messing it up as my cooking skills aren’t the greatest and I have a huge fear of getting burned. (I’m watching this with captions so I might’ve missed it. Thanks!)
Hi there! Thank you!! :) I would recommend practicing a bit. You don't have to make this big of a batch. Yes it will work great for stained glass. Just follow the video carefully and follow the recipe: inthekitchenwithmatt.com/edible-sugar-glass and you will be fine. :) Yes getting burned is no fun! But if you are careful it should be okay.
if I were you, I'd find something the shape you are looking for the windows, like a square cookie cutter, or oval. I would pour a thin layer in them on a cookie sheet, and you should be able to carefully pop them out, and put them on.
Hey Matt. The first time I made this I used Cinnamon and the family loved it.

Dip the glass/candy in fruit? Wouldn't that be a lot of candy and no taste of the fruit

BTW, as I was cleaning up, I used a little-known tip to make it easy. Most never think of it and it's so obvious.
Just fill the pan with water and put it back on the stove. Turn up the heat and let boil. The extra liquid will dilute the sugar and with the heat, all you have to do is pour down the sink once it has boiled. ;) OR you can pour that boiling water into the used pan, which also has your wooden spoon and candy thermometer and let the boiling hot water clean them, too.
@@marigeobrien Glad you tried it out!! haha yes, I always put water back in the pot and boil it to clean it up. So easy! If you want the glass thinner, you will just need to pour less of it to fill up the window space. Good luck and have fun!
Can someone tell me what I did wrong? :( my mixture came out like a very hard and gooey consistency and it never hardened, can someone tell me if I need to leave it boiling longer?
Hi there, yes you needed to boil it longer. That it the most common cause for it not hardening. Did you wait for it to start to change colors while it was boiling? It takes quite awhile.
Super yummy 😋😘
Thank you!
Can I use it also as ice castle on my frozen theme cake? Can I make it now and then use it the next day, will it melt?
Yes you sure can. Yes you can make it now and use it the next day. store it flat in a zip lock bag, but don't let the sugar glass pieces touch each other or they will stick. You can also stack them with parchment paper in between the layers too. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.
“Jesse we got to start cooking”
lol. "Yo Mr. White, let's cook!"
I love this
Thanks!!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt your welcome! I might have to make a something with your idea .
@@anikalapinoja Definitely do it!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt will do
Nice video. Please is the water measurement 1/2 cup or 1 cup. Thanks
Hello, it is 1/2 to 1 cup. Anywhere in between that amount, it doesn't matter. :) Also the recipe and ingredients are all listed down in the description box under the video. :)
I made this in homec class indicted the greenish color that broken glass tends to look like put it in a plastic Ziploc bag and walked around school and eat it freaking people out it was pretty fun a pretty tasty I give it a spearmint flavor
hahaha that is awesome
Thanks again
You are welcome!
3:13 how is named that plate where u put da candy please answer!
Hi there, it is called a "sheet pan". I also used a silicone baking mat on top of it, but that isn't necessary, you can just spray the pan with cooking spray, or rub a bit of cooking oil on it. :)
heyy i’m know i’m a lil late but how did u get the light blue
Hello, Raquel, I used blue food coloring. :)
Hey, is it possible to add flavouring? And if so, which kind would be suited?
Yes you sure can, any hard candy flavoring will work. This brand makes a lot of good hard candy flavoring. amzn.to/3LyfbPh
I’m so excited to try this!
Awesome!! Have fun!
Do you add coloring to the clear one ?
Yes you can add food coloring to the clear one, that is how I got the blue ones.
I followed the recipe but it’s been about 2.5 hours and it’s not hardening up. Do I need to start over? Or should I just wait longer? What do you think could’ve gone wrong?
Hi Noelle! You could wait a little longer. But it sounds like the sugar solution wasn't quite at the right temperature, that is usually the problem when it won't harden.
Good stuff Mat, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! You are welcome!
Hi!i cant see the quantities of the ingredients 🙈
Cant wait to try it. Thanks
Hi Paula, down in the description box of the video, right below the video, you will find them.
How many minutes does it take to get to the boiling part
Hello Antonella it really depends, it is never the same, 5 to 10 minutes, and then once it starts boiling, it needs to boil until it just barely starts to turn amber in color.
How can you get a clear color with out it turning the amber color?
It is pretty hard to do that, but right when you get a hint of yellow color you can try taking it off and see if it will harden.
As I was watching this it reminded me of stain glass windows. It would be awesome to somehow incorporate this sugar glass into an art project. Maybe a framed box on the wall with an LED light inside. "Kids, NO playing ball in the house!!!" ha ha
hahaha yes!!
I thought the same thing
Is it possible to use a smaller pot with a handle?
Sure, you can use a different kind of pot. :)
Hi Matt, I want to make a sage colour edible sugar to use for decoration on cake pops for a wedding. I wanted to add gold leaf to it. Do you think this would work and at what stage would i place the gold leaf, when its completely cooled or still warm? Thanks in advance!
Hello, Ika, I don't have a ton of experience with edible gold leaf. I think it may work though, I would put it on after it has completely cooled. With that said, you may want to experiment first before you make your whole plan around that. :) Sounds like a fun project! Let me know how it turns out. Be very careful with the temp of the sugar solution, just until it starts to turn amber/yellow, otherwise, if it gets too dark it will be hard to color it to the color you want.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Thanks Matt, i will give it a go and hopefully it works!
@@ikadraskic5800 You are welcome! Let me know how it turns out. :)
hi
@@judykelly4414 hi judy
We always sprinkled powdered sugar on top and bottom, after it set , much better that way
Cool, but it will mess it up if you do that. It won't keep its clarity. But it all depends on what you want to use it for.
What is the shelf life and how can I store it? Just wondering how far in advance I can make candy glass leaves for my son's birthday cake
Store them flat, not touching each other, between something like wax paper or parchment paper in a ziplock bag at room temp. It will last longer in a low humid environment. It can last quite a long time. If conditions are not ideal, then it can start to curl, lose its shape, etc.
I really enjoyed your video> Im currently in culinary school for pastry and baking. One thing I noticed though was that you stirred your sugar. Just curious if there was a reason you did that?
It really isn't necessary, you just don't want it to burn, unless you really want that dark "bottle" color. And just make sure you have a good working thermometer. Or if you are eyeballing it, right when it barely starts to turn yellowish, remove it.
Hey! Is ir okay if we just put it directky on a tray? Or does there HAVE to be the weird parchement paper thing? Is there any alternatives like aluminum foil or saram rap?
You can just spray the pan with kitchen spray, or if you use aluminum foil you can spray that as well. Don't use saran wrap, it will melt. :)
True is my childhood foodie
nice!
Hello! Can we dont use corn/glucose syrup and just replace it with sugar? Cos it is not really a staple over here
Technically yes, you can make sugar glass with just water and sugar. It won't be quite as stable, if you don't use the corn syrup, but it should still work.
Hi!!!!! Thank you so much for the helpful video!! This is awesome!
I’m doing some Christmas prep (I’m insane, I know) and I keep seeing gingerbread houses with clear glass. Would this recipe work? I’m also very afraid of messing it up as my cooking skills aren’t the greatest and I have a huge fear of getting burned.
(I’m watching this with captions so I might’ve missed it. Thanks!)
Hi there! Thank you!! :) I would recommend practicing a bit. You don't have to make this big of a batch. Yes it will work great for stained glass. Just follow the video carefully and follow the recipe: inthekitchenwithmatt.com/edible-sugar-glass and you will be fine. :) Yes getting burned is no fun! But if you are careful it should be okay.
In The Kitchen With Matt thanks so much! Thanks for the quick response, too! 😁
@@spookyhamilton2732 You are so very welcome! Let me know how it goes and if you run into any issues and need help. :)
if I were you, I'd find something the shape you are looking for the windows, like a square cookie cutter, or oval. I would pour a thin layer in them on a cookie sheet, and you should be able to carefully pop them out, and put them on.
@@vampirestalker94 Yup that would work great, just spray the cookie cutter with cooking spray, and the glass will pop out much easier when it hardens.
