Blue Crystal Meth Rock Candy for Breaking Bad. You guys! Breaking Bad is finally coming back to TV this Sunday night, to which I say: bring it. I’m sick of all this feel- good television I’ve been watching, and I’m ready for some feel- bad television once again. Breaking Bad is the best show that I hate to watch. I basically view the episodes with my hands in front of my eyes, a pit in my stomach, and a looming sense of dread that tightens every muscle in my body. Apparently he was a little addicted (irony!) and would munch on the fake drugs between takes. Ever since reading that, I couldn’t get the idea of recreating my own crystal meth candy out of my head. Unlike actual crystal meth, this version is super- simple to make. It’s is a pretty typical hard candy recipe. You’ll need a candy thermometer, but not much else in the way of special equipment or skills. If you can boil sugar, you can make this candy. After the hard candy is poured and cooled, it’s time to get your Jesse Pinkman on and smash it into small, snort- able chunks. I’ll be the one in the corner with my head buried in a pillow, asking when it’s safe to look again and demanding a play- by- play description. AMC was watched for 805644 times.

I’ve gotten many similar questions about it, so before you begin, please read the Tips & Troubleshooting section down below, to help you avoid common problems like soft candy or a greenish color. Blue Crystal Meth Rock Candy for Breaking Bad. See below for more recommendations)1 drop blue gel food coloring (I used Americolor Sky Blue gel coloring)Candy thermometer (I like this one)Line a baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Place the pan over medium- high heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then stop stirring and brush down the sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. Insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook the candy without stirring until it reads 2. Fahrenheit (1. 43- 1. C) on the thermometer. Watch the temperature carefully- -a lower temperature might produce sticky candy, while a higher temperature runs the risk of producing green candy! Once at 2. 90- 2. Add the flavoring and a drop of food coloring, and stir everything together. Pour the candy onto the prepared baking sheet and tilt it so that it runs into a thin layer. Let it set completely at room temperature. Once set, break it into small pieces by hand. For the complete “crystal meth” experience, place the pieces in a large zip- top bag and smash them with a rolling pin until they are crushed. Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature. Flavoring Options. Thanks to reader Ryan Garcia, here’s a partial list of Lor. Ann candy flavorings that are clear and won’t turn your candy meth funny colors. Ryan advises that while many of the larger Lor. Ann bottles are tinted so you can’t tell the color inside, most of the 1- dram bottles are clear, so you can either view them online to check the color, or order them as an experiment before committing to a larger bottle. I like Lor. Ann because I think the quality, consistency, and flavors are great, but you can of course use any clear flavoring or extract brand that you like. Lor. Ann Cool Cr. There are 2 possible culprits: overcooking the candy, and using the wrong food coloring. First, overcooking. This recipe calls for syrup to be cooked to 2. F, which should produce a near- colorless mixture that will not interfere with food coloring. I can’t guarantee other colors or brands will turn out the same. Liquid coloring, especially, can be weaker and can produce a greenish shade when mixed with the slightly yellow hard candy, so if you are very concerned with getting the perfect color, consider trying to track down the Americolor Sky Blue. Here are a few colorings other readers have recommended: one reader says that the neon blue Mc. Cormick’s liquid food coloring produced a great blue color. She also recommends using a packet of Duncan Hines Frosting Creations in Cotton Candy, stirring it in at the very end and omitting any other flavoring and coloring. Another reader had great success with Adeco brand Electric Blue, and recommends using 5 drops for a great blue color. The Candy Is Too Soft/Is Sticky/Doesn’t Set Well: If the candy is too soft or doesn’t set, it has not been cooked enough. This recipe really, truly should be measured using a candy thermometer, and if you are using one and still having problems with soft candy, test the accuracy of your thermometer, and double- check that you used the correct quantities and temperature the recipe calls for. If the candy is initially fine but quickly becomes sticky, humidity is probably the problem. Hard candy works best in a dry environment–sugar soaks up moisture from the air around it, and hard candy quickly becomes wet and sticky in the humidity. Don’t attempt this candy on a humid or stormy day. It should always be stored in an airtight container at room temperature, to keep it as dry as possible. The Candy is Crumbly and Opaque: If your candy is crumbly or sandy instead of hard and crunchy, or opaque instead of translucent, then it has crystallized during the cooking process. Nothing is wrong with it, and it will still taste fine, but the appearance and texture may not be what you want. Crystallization happens when sugar crystals form during the cooking process. This can happen due to stirring too much while it cooks (once it comes to a boil, you should not be stirring it at all), or not wiping down the sides of the pan with a wet brush to remove the crystals, or just accidentally having stray crystals on the candy thermometer, spatula, or pan. The corn syrup in the recipe helps prevent crystals from forming, so if you substitute other ingredients for the corn syrup, you might find that crystallization is more likely. This may seem overwhelming, but I promise the recipe is not terribly tricky–much like cooking meth, it just requires a little precision. Good luck! Reader Submissions.
