#REDIRECT Rock_candy
Rock candy is a type of confectionery composed of relatively large sugar crystals. Homemade rock candy is commonly formed by allowing a solution of sugar and water to crystallize onto a string or some other surface. Superheating the solution by boiling the water before adding the sugar can help produce larger crystals. Crystals form after several days. Food coloring is often added to the mixture to produce colorized candy. Rock candy is a different product than United Kingdom rock (candy), also called "seaside rock", which more closely resembles a candy cane. The word "candy" is not usually used for confectionery in the UK. Confectionery
There is also a Rock (candy) already, i note. oh yes, these 2 need to be merged (or the UK information moved out of Rock Candy). Does anyone know whether US rock candy is the same as UK rock? It doesn't sound like it from the description.... user:seglea at 0344utc on 031111 :it sounds like the same substance - ie solid crystallised sugar, just packaged rather differently in the uk. User:Morwen 07:40, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC) Not sure about that - which one have you eaten? British rock is hard when you first bite it but then gets very chewy (if I remember rightly, must be 30 years since I ate any). And it doesn't have any visible crystals. Also it is virtually always flavoured with peppermint. I've never had US rock candy so have no idea whether any of this applies. user:seglea at 0752utc on 031111 :the uk one. hmm.
