Ingredients and Supplies

First gather your ingredients: sugar, electric green food coloring, your favorite flavored oil, and the magic touch, vitamin B₂ capsules to make them glow.

To make the candy you’ll also need a stove, pot, candy thermometer, aluminum foil, quartz crystals to make the molds with, and rice to hold up the molds.

Create Molds

Before cooking, prepare your molds by covering the quartz crystals in aluminum foil, then carefully pulling the foil apart, leaving an impression.

You can also make long strips of candy by folding the foil lengthwise and curling up the ends so the candy doesn’t leak out.

Set your molds into the pan of rice to maintain their shape.

Mix and Heat

Dissolve three capsules of vitamin B₂ in 150mL of water (5/8 cup), and measure out 1.25 cups of sugar.

Using your candy thermometer, mix in the sugar and B₂/water mix until the solution gets to 200 degrees. Then stop mixing and wait for the temperature to reach 300.
