A crafty idea gone a little wrong... (1 pic)

15 years ago





... fake ice. I need it for a centerpiece idea and didn't want to spend the money for the fake plastic ones. I decided to try using a hard candy recipe. Looks like ice except I REALLY don't want yellow ice! lol

Why is it yellow? (I used sugar, clear corn syrup and water with just a few drops of clear peppermint extract)

A. The peppermint extract made it yellow.

B. The cheap blue Dollar Tree ice cube trays made it yellow.

C. The Pam I sprayed in the tray made the ice yellow.

D. _________________________ (fill in with your answer).

The stuff that hardened on the pan looks clear (although the glass pan is an amber color), so I am assuming the answer isn't A.

TIA in advance to any experienced candy makers or anyone that can help. :-)
