Rock Candy
"Making rock candy is a fun science experiment to do with the kids, and the finished rock candy sticks make great party favors or gifts! Make this rock candy recipe in a mason jar so you can watch the crystal growth each day. Homemade rock candy is not only a sweet treat, it's a great learning experiment kids and adults can do together. Keep your spoils, or save them for goody bags at birthday parties, include with a Valentine card, or attach to the top of a Christmas present."
