How to Make Candied Strawberry (Foolproof Recipe) 

Here's a tip from an avid candy maker. It IS OKAY to stir and not use the corn syrup. Once the mixture comes to a boil cover it with a lid for 60 seconds. What happens is if you stir, the sugar crystals can get on the sides of the pan. Once the mixture is hot enough and the water is all boiled out, if a sugar crystal falls into it that's what causes the crystalization. You don't want that to happen. So if you cover it the steam will melt the sugar into the pan preventing any sugar crystals from falling into the cooked mixture 😁 I love explanations. Too many videos say "don't do this... Because this will happen" without explaining what it means or why it happens. Once you understand why and what, you can better understand how and how not ❤️

From what i've learned, you don't need the corn syrup. I just did 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar and it was still very crunchy, keeping the stems on or off is your choice but if you keep the stems on, the little green part on the stem will make the stick stay in the strawberry better.

Hey! Um I was wondering if you know how to clean the pot...?😅

Thank you I made these to put on a cake today!! They were yummy

Thank you for this foolproof basic recipe! I made it first with the corn starch, then I made it without the corn starch, for me it came out perfect both ways! A candy thermometer is a must, it Has to reach the hard crack temperature or it will not work. Also I needed to adjust from medium heat to a higher temperature so that it could reach the hard crack stage sooner. I’ve watched other videos saying how to do this but yours was by far the best one, thank you again and keep up the good work🥰

I didn't have corn syrup so I just added butter flavored syrup and idk how it'll turn out. But I hope it's good thanks for the recipe!! ☺💜

When I did mine, it was perfect..but later on the sugar started to melt..? Was that because of heat or something else..?

Could I ask what heat you putted it on?

May I please know the music you have playing?? It’s beautiful! Xx

thande pani wich budee ne panee sii saliyaaa

Thanks i will make for my Grandaughter birthday cake. Ill let you know

Not much info here..can you not mix in the begining.when can you start mixing. How long after it reached temp can you dip the strawberries?

Ugh! I want to make these so badly but I dint have a candy thermometer 🌡 😫 😢 Any other ideas? Or can I get a candy thermometer from Walmart?

Damn, I made these with my mom and it pulled out one of my jaw teeth. So a quick word of advice, wait until the candy coating is fully hardened before munching with your little chompers otherwise you're gonna need a dentist appointment.

Does the corn syrup have to be light ?

Do u freeze them? I tried and they never got fully hard.... It was really sticky

Just did it. Exact recipe but did not use thermometer. It never got crunchy. Any idea why? Got too hot or didn’t get hot enough?

Why did yours turn brown is it burnt

Do you dump them in water after you dump them in the sugar ?

I'm not so sure there is such a thing as foolproof, there's always that one person who manages to find a way mess things up.

Does anyone know if i can put this hot liquid in silicon molds. I was just wanting yo make hard candy unicorn

Is it fine if I use water and sugar? I see people doing that!

So do you just let it air dye or in the freezer ?

0:42 Thats the whole point you want it crystalized🤔

Whenever someone bites it the sugar coat completely comes off🥴😔 what can i do?

Hi! Xx When you finish dipping them in the pan where do u put it? Xx💞✨ and would it stick to the place? One more question! ( sorry ) what does it taste like!?🌸✨💞💖💘

How do u not make the candy stick on pans or plates when it’s finished I tried using oil or water other kinds of paper and the candy still stuck

I don’t have a candy thermometer so shall I just wait till it boils or till it boils a little bit?

Would brown sugar work?

Can I just use normal corn syrup?

Why does some ppl pit them in cold ice water after dipping

That was not a half cup of water,I hate when people are not honest about measurements.

This video is perfect! I just have a question about the corn syrup??? Clearly I see that the syrup is needed to make this recipe foolproof (which is important for me lol)! I’ve never made this before, but I am wondering does the corn syrup change the flavor at all? Does it give the coating any sort of bitter/weird aftertaste? Also, if I enjoy the taste of, say maple syrup or Mrs Butterworth’s pancake syrup, could those types of syrups be used in place of corn syrup?

Do you have to have the red food coloring or any coloring at all

Why isnt my candy hardening on my strawberries?

If you don’t have corn syrup use honey

Oh I thought u had to put it in ice water

That background music someone helppppp🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey

I want to take the video and let it go.💗

I liked everything except the annoying crunching you did at the beginning and end. Not needed

Can you eat this with braces?

this sounds fucking painful

The music is so unnecessary!!!!

Foolproof? It didn’t work 3 times😢😂😂😂😂😂😂 cool recipe though
