1

Gather Your Supplies

Before we dive into the creative process, make sure you have everything you need. Get your hands on some hard candy (preferably clear or lightly colored), food coloring, holographic edible glitters, silicone molds in fun shapes, baking sheet, parchment paper, and a candy thermometer.

2

Prepare the Candy Mixture

In a saucepan, heat a few cups of hard candy on low heat until it melts completely. Stir continuously to prevent burning. Once melted, add a few drops of food coloring and mix well. Be creative and experiment with different color combinations!

3

Add the Holographic Glitter

Now comes the magical part! Sprinkle a pinch of holographic edible glitter into the silicone molds. The glitter will give your candies a mesmerizing holographic effect. Feel free to mix different glitters for a unique look!

4

Pour the Candy Mixture

Carefully pour your melted candy mixture into the silicone molds, making sure to cover the glitter completely. If you want, you can create layers of different colors by pouring one color, letting it cool, and then adding another.

5

Let It Cool and Set

Allow the candy to cool and set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the candies from the molds. It may take around 15-20 minutes for the candies to fully set.

6

Pop Them Out

Once the candies are completely cooled and set, gently press on the bottom of the silicone molds to release the shiny holographic candies. Marvel at your edible artwork!
