Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk or hand mixer
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie cutter (optional)
  • Wooden skewer or a stick

Method
 

  1. Gather all your equipment and ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
  2. In a small saucepan, add the granulated sugar over medium-low heat. Stir gently until the sugar melts completely, turning a light amber color.
  3. Once the sugar is melted, quickly add the baking soda and whisk vigorously.
  4. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes light in color and fluffy, about 30 seconds.
  5. Quickly pour the fluffy mixture onto a piece of parchment paper.
  6. While the mixture is still warm, use a skewer to press down lightly in the center.
  7. Allow the candy to cool completely for about 5 minutes.
  8. Once cool, gently peel the candy off the parchment paper and enjoy.

Notes

For a fun twist, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top right before it cools for a sweet and salty combo.
