Barley-Sugar Tablets

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat sugar until it reaches the right consistency, then pour it onto a marble surface.

  2. Let it cool slightly until it no longer sticks to your fingers.

  3. Use a tin frame to create deep lines in the sugar.

  4. Once cool, break apart the tablets and sprinkle with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

  5. Wrap the tablets in white or colored paper as desired.
