Also, for people who live in countries that do not have corn syrup: I have heard others suggest golden syrup as an appropriate replacement for corn syrup.

I realise most of the comments I’m replying to are quite old, but in case anyone else has these same troubles: if you live in a humid place, this toffee will be sticky, it’s a fact of life and nothing you do will prevent it! Keeping it in an air-tight container in the fridge will help prevent stickiness in humid places. But also, if you do not cook it for long enough, it will remain soft and pliable once it ‘sets’ which may also contribute to stickiness. Re: the colour problem – if you take the mixture off the heat before it turns amber your colour will be truer to the original colouring. However the less you cook it the more likely it will not set rock-hard and may remain soft and pliable as I mentioned above. I don’t see that clear corn syrup would necessarily help because this mixture will turn amber regardless (I make it without any syrup).

[...] Beach glass candy wedding favors are a sweet treat at a beach wedding! When paired with a real seashell, the hard candy looks almost exactly like real beach glass. For this favor, we’ve nestled beach glass candy in a seashell and wrapped it in a 12″ tulle circle. Then, we tied the tulle closed with with personalized Beach Theme Continuous Print ribbon. You can find beach glass candy at specialty shops or on etsy, or go fully DIY and use a beach glass candy recipe. [...]

What did you use to make the labels? These are awesome! I am going to attempt to do them and use them as my tropical themed wedding favors =)

I see that some of you girls are having trouble getting the colors you want. I used an extract I got at Micheal’s craft store that tones down the base color and helps the food coloring show. I made Pink, Orange and Lime green colored candy! Turned out great!

I have no idea why it would be sticky. Maybe the type of corn syrup? Maybe a candy making forum might help solve this riddle.
