Old fashioned clear toy candy, often referred to as “rock candy,” is a type of confectionery made from crystallized sugar. It is typically clear and comes in various shapes and sizes, including sticks, gems, and crystals. Rock candy is made by dissolving sugar in boiling water and then allowing the solution to cool slowly. As the water evaporates, the sugar crystals form and grow.
Rock candy has been around for centuries and is believed to have originated in the Middle East. It was a popular treat in the Victorian era and is still enjoyed by people of all ages. Rock candy is relatively inexpensive to make and can be found in most candy stores and supermarkets.
