    Hello from a Squidoo Greeter! I thought I have left a comment before so when I looked I thought, wow I have never seen so many anonymous comments on one lens before! nice lens and I will be making my own rock candy.

    Looks like it would be fun to make with the kids. Is there a way to shape them into balls so they are like lollipops? Guess this means I will have to do some experimenting first until I get them right.

    Maybe try rolling a pipe cleaner into a ball and hanging it on the string. :)

    Wow, this project is amazing! I'm using it for my science fair and my teachers can't wait to see what it looks like! I used this as my resource and thank you so much for posting this, I can't tell you how helpful this was to me (and my science fair grade;) ) You should post other fun candy experiments also! thanks again and great work! ;)

    hi I like crystal candy
  • Azareal Nov 17, 2008 @ 9:36 am | delete
    I added the extra information to help prevent potential problems. If you overheat the solution you risk making hard candy rather than growing crystals. You want to cool the solution before putting it in the jar for two reasons. The first is to minimize the chance of burning yourself. The second reason is because the solubility of sugar is dramatically affected by temperature. You have a much lower chance of dissolving any seed crystals or other pre-existing crystals you may have if you add a cooled solution.

    Sweet! Aww man, anyway thanks for the delecious help! Lol! ; )
  • Flint Nov 15, 2008 @ 8:31 pm | delete
    These directions are harder than others I've found. Why shouldn't I let it get hotter while dissolving and why does it have to cool before pouring into the jars?

    yum
