Ingredients
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
Red food coloring
White sugar crystals for coating
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Candy Canes
To begin, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and cream of tartar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, stop stirring and let it cook until it reaches a temperature of 300°F on a candy thermometer. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and quickly stir in the peppermint extract. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 2: Add the Red Stripes
Once the candy has cooled slightly, use a butter knife to create a line of red food coloring down the length of the candy. Use the knife to gently swirl the food coloring into the candy, creating a marbled effect.
Next, use your hands to pull and stretch the candy into a long, thin rope. Place the rope back onto the parchment paper and twist it to create a candy cane shape. Let the candy canes cool completely.
Step 3: Coat with Sugar Crystals
Once the candy canes have cooled, roll them in white sugar crystals to add a festive touch and to prevent them from sticking to each other.
Store your candy canes in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap for gifting.
Final Thoughts
This Christmas candy cane recipe is a delicious and fun way to get into the holiday spirit. Not only is it a tasty treat, but it also makes for a great gift or decoration. So gather your ingredients and get ready to spread some holiday cheer with these homemade candy canes.
