This is a childhood favorite... it takes time but its reasonably simple to make. In addition to other ingredients you will need a styrofoam plate, a quart sized jar and wooden stick (shishkabob sticks work well but be sure to cut the point off) ice cream sticks work well too.

2 cups sugar
3 drops food coloring (or more if you like)

Directions

4

5
Add food coloring.
6
Pour mixture into jar and cover with styrofoam plate.
