Reheat Hard Candy Mix?
by Tam
(Hawaii)
I wanted to know if I would be able to reheat hard candy mix? I made a pot of hard candy and I didn't have enough molds so, I have a half pot sitting.
I wanted to know if I can reheat it and if it still would be good?? Please Help Me!!!
Hi Tam,
I don't think you'll have much luck reheating hard candy mix if it has already set. If the situation occurs again that you have more mix than molds, you can use the remaining candy to make "hard tack."
Just pour the remaining hot mixture onto a buttered/oiled cookie sheet. Butter your hands and start cutting the warm candy into small pieces and roll between your palms to keep from having too many sharp edges.
You can then toss the candy pieces in powdered sugar and store in an airtight jar. This makes nice bite-sized pieces of candy and you don't have to waste a drop of your mix.
Hope that helps!
