Rock Candy

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup white corn syrup
  • 3 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 drops of blue gel food coloring

I boiled the mixture and then continued stirring it on the heat until it reached 300 degrees F (used a candy thermometer to measure the temp). At that point, I poured it into a tray to cool. It hardened up in about an hour and then I smashed it to pieces. via reddit

Grilled Chocolate Banana

Who’s grilling tonight?Chocbanana1

Here’s a unique sweet treat!

  • Cut the bananas and stuff them with chocolate chips.
  • Cover them with tin foil and place over fire to grill for about 5-10 minutes
  • Remove the banana from heat and mix the banana pulp and the melted chocolate together.
  • Eat! so good. Makes me want to to camping again.
