Sugar is a precise science used in making many kinds of candies.
The consistency can vary from rock hard to creamy. It can look transparent like glass, shiny like silk, opaque like stone. To the touch it is brittle and gritty, smooth and velvety, or moist and chewy. These variations are achieved by controlling the way in which the boiled sugar syrup cools and solidifies. The stages the sugar is boiling at are codified and represent the ratio of sugar to water and the crystal structure of the sugar.
