For a dazzling effect, experiment with multiple food colorings, creating a mosaic of vibrant hues. Be extremely cautious when working with hot sugar syrup, as it can cause severe burns. Use a reliable candy thermometer and keep children away from the cooking area. For alternative flavors, try vanilla, lemon, orange, or peppermint extract. To avoid a grainy texture, ensure the sugar is completely dissolved before bringing the syrup to a boil. Store the stained glass candy in an airtight container at room temperature to prevent it from becoming sticky.
