Allulose Hard Candy Recipes

CHEWY KETO CARAMEL CANDY

Steps:

• Heat butter and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Set aside and keep warm.
• In a medium saucepan, combine Allulose, water, sea salt, molasses, and vanilla. Stir to combine, then heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches at least 350 degrees F, and the color just starts to change.
• Stir the the warm cream and butter into the Allulose mixture you just heated. Mixture will bubble, but keep stirring and it will settle down.
• Cook the entire mixture over medium-high heat until the color deepens into an amber caramel color, stirring constantly. Test for the consistency you desire by placing some caramel on a spoon in ice water. When the caramel cools in the ice water to the desired consistency, pour into a pan lined with butter parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator until cool. Enjoy!

OLD-FASHIONED HOMEMADE HARD CANDY

Steps:

• In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved; then cook without stirring, lowering the heat and cooking more slowly during the last few minutes, to the hard crack stage (300 degrees F), If sugar crystals form on sides of pan, wipe them off with a damp brush.
• Remove from heat, add oil flavoring and enough food coloring to color; stir only to mix. Pour into 2 well buttered 9 inch pans. Set one pan of candy over a sauce pan containing hot water (unless you have a helper to help cut the candy). As soon as the other pan of candy is cool enough to handle, cut it with scissors into 1-inch strips. Then snip the strips into pieces. Work fast. Drop the pieces onto a buttered baking sheet. If the candy cools too quickly, set it on a saucepan over hot water to soften it, but if it gets sticky, return at once to the work counter.
• Toss in a small amount of powdered sugar to keep from sticking together. Repeat with the second pan of candy.

• Remove from heat and stir in flavored extract and food coloring, if desired. Pour onto a greased cookie sheet, and dust the top with confectioners' sugar. Let cool, and break into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
