Mrs. Duckie: Breaking Bad Finale Party

Breaking Bad was such a great show we had to let it go out with a bang! So we threw a Breaking Bad Series Finale party. It included roof pizza, Los Pollos Hermanos, blue margaritas, blue sprinkle cupcakes, Breaking Bad cookies (courtesy of a friend), Schraderbrau and of course some crystal blue persuasion. Although the finale is over, I am sure there will be a lot of people dressing up as their favorite Breaking Bad character this Halloween. What would go better with your costume then some homemade blue "meth". So here is how I made the delicious homemade Heisenberg Sky Blue (candy of course)!

What You Need
3/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
1/2 cup Water
2 cups Granulated Sugar
10-15 drops of LorAnns Flavoring (I used cotton candy)
Wilton Sky Blue Coloring
Cooking Spray
Baking Sheet (with an edge)
Aluminum Foil
Mallet or Meat Tenderizer
Candy Thermometer
Stainless Steal Pot

What To Do

Step 1: Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray with cooking spray to prevent the candy from sticking.

Step 2: Add the the corn syrup, water and sugar to the pot. Cook on medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the liquid becomes clear.
*It is easy to get it boiling before you see this happen. Once it starts boiling it should be clear but check before going on to Step 3. Use a spoon to bring up a little bit of the liquid to check for clarity.

Step 3: Insert your candy thermometer into the pot and turn up the heat. DO NOT STIR. You want to get the candy to 285°. Keep an eye on the pot. It will take a bit to get going but once it does it will hit 285° fast. Once you get it to 285° turn off the stove and remove the pot from the heat immediately.

Step 4: Once there are no more bubbles forming in the pot add the flavoring. LorAnns is 3-4 times stronger then normal flavoring so you don't need a lot. Add 10-15 drops (depending on how strong you want the flavor to be).

Step 5: Dip a toothpick into your coloring. Place the toothpick in the pot and stir it around a few times. Remove the tooth pick and stir with a spoon. Make sure to fully incorporate the color or there will be streaks of color in your candy.
*Work quickly at the point, the candy starts hardening fairly quickly once it's off the heat.

Step 6: Pour the liquid candy mixture on the baking sheet. Rotate the baking sheet to even out the liquid. Let sit for 30+ mins so the candy can fully harden.
