Hi Raven thanks for watching and thanks for the questions. I haven’t tried either of these things so I couldn’t say. If you do, I’d be curious how this turns out :). I usually create the crystals as gifts or to top a cake.

I wonder if there is a way to make a sour version of these, you think they could be dipped in citric acid before drying? I’m trying these for sure hummm

@RoxStarBakes

I love this question! One time I made sour patch macarons. I mixed a little sugar and citric acid and rolled the assembled French macaron in it - if that makes sense. So! Yes I think what you’re suggesting would be so good 😊

Do you need to put glad wrap over the top while they sit out in room temp for 7 days?

I keep them open but if you want to lightly cover with Saran Wrap I think that might be okay. The parts that get stuck to the candy don’t really dry as well.

It’s working again - so sorry!

I am from the Philippines and I have tried making this using a non-refined agar. I noticed that when I started boiling my mixture, it slowly became jelly-like and it is already set in the process of simmering the mixture, absolutely the opposite of trying to melt everything. I use 1/2 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of agar, and 1 cup of sugar. I tried all the methods of mixing it with water before boiling it, dissolving the agar with cool water before turning on the heat, and adding the sugar. I was able to make it into a syrup liquid once but it did not set at all and ended up being taffy in the fridge. I used two different agar already but to no avail, I still failed. Is there any tips or anything you may recommend to help with this issue? TIA!

I haven't tried that brand and would be curious to see how it works. Room temperature works great - you could keep it in the oven if you'd like to keep it out of the way. I have luck drying in the fridge but if you leave it in too long it will harden all the way through. Hope that helps!

What is the shelf life? How do you recommend keeping them? Thank you!
