Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sugar Granulated
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • Gel coloring Optional

Instructions

  • Add sugar and water in a small bowl and mix everything until you have a rough,chunky mixture.
  • Divide the sugar mixture into separate small bowls and add different gel colorings into each bowl.
  • Mix the color thoroughly into the sugar mixture with a spoon.
  • Spread the sugar mixture on a
    cookie tray. Use your hands to really push down the mixture tightly. Then, press your small cutters into this mixture.
  • Now, remove the cutter from the mixture and gently place it on a sheet of wax paper. Tap the cutter lightly and the sugar piece will just come out.
  • Let the pieces dry overnight on the sheet of wax paper or until they harden. Once they are hard, you can store them in a plastic container away from moisture, humidity and sunlight. 
  • Instead of cutters, you can use a small candy mold. Fill the molds with crumbly sugar mixture and let it dry completely (overnight is best) at room temperature. Then, flip it over gently onto a sheet of wax paper/ parchment paper and the cubes should fall out easily. Enjoy!
