How to Make Bubble Sugar

Once the sugar reaches the proper temperature, remove it from the heat and remove the candy thermometer. If you want to color your bubble sugar, add a drop or two of food coloring at this point. You can stir just a few strokes, to make swirled bubble sugar, or stir until it is fully incorporated.

Tilt the baking sheet at a slight angle and carefully begin pouring the sugar syrup on the top of the sheet, so it runs down the parchment paper. The alcohol will make the sugar bubble up.
