Well that just made my birthday even just a little more sad.lol I lost just 0.2 pounds today which means while not extremely reactive I did have some amount of reaction. My husband insisted we spend the day celebrating my birthday. So I had my normal breakfast and tried to do my best at eating. I'm sure there will be a gain and I will start my day 6 as soon as I get back down to 125.2 pounds :) life is to short to not enjoy, just enjoy it sparingly.
Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need:
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Cups of Water
1 Package Sugar Free Jello
A candy Thermometer
Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I like to dust mine …
