How To making rock candy at home

A skill that we seem to be losing in our society is cooking. Proper homemade cooking, the type grandma used to do. Homemade cooking should be taught to all kids, and it's up to you as a parent to do so. And start your kids with homemade candy.

If you start teaching your kids to cook something they don't like they probably won't develop a love of cooking. Nevertheless if you start the kids out cooking homemade cakes or homemade candy you can just about guarantee that the kids will love it, and want to do more.

Last night I was cooking a chocolate candy with my kids, 8 and 11. They loved it and I can still see the look on their face as they licked out the bowl. The enjoyment that kids get from cooking is directly related to how yummy the result is, and if you cook homemade candy the result is always yummy.

And if they learn to love cooking they'll have a skill they'll appreciate for the rest of their lives. And they graduate from cooking candy pretty fast.

There's a few simple things to remember, whether they're cooking homemade candy or anything else. Allow plenty of time, expect mess, start with a simple recipe and get them started on the simple tasks.

And always remember to keep them away from heat. Many homemade candy recipes require that you make a syrup from water and sugar, and a syrup is extremely hot, hotter than simply boiling water. So watch out, a syrup burn is nasty.

There's some wonderful simple homemade candy recipes to begin with. I already mentioned syrup. I've suggested keeping away from making any candy that starts with a syrup to begin with. Many candies need a syrup, and getting the temperature right can be tricky, and a little boring for kids. So start with some simple candy recipes first. Pralines and truffles would be a good start.

Nevertheless once you're all up to skill there's no end to the homemade candy recipes you can try. Truffles, nougats, chocolate anythings, toffees, the list goes on and on. Oh and if you try toffee make sure you do chewy toffee, it's absolutely the best toffee ever.
