Dark Kayro (called "golden syrup" in this recipe I found)

Instructions

Materials :

* Old saucepan
* Oven
* Baking thermometer
* 2 measures of water
* 1 measure of golden syrup
* 3 1/2 measures of sugar
* A mold for your glass (depending on the shape requirements)

Steps :

* Mix the water, golden syrup and sugar together in the saucepan and bring it to a boil on the oven.
* Leave it boiling until the mixture is thick, with almost all the water boiled off.
* Pour it into whatever mold you're using and let it cool.

Notes :

* Keep it out of moist areas and direct sun.
* Sugar glass doesn't last long (warps or goes sticky) so make it close to the time when you plan to use it.
* Though only sugar, the glass can have sharp edges/points when broken, so be careful when handling.
* Do not let the sugar caramelise otherwise it turns into a horrible brown
* To achieve the see through glass affect use liquid glucose instead of golden syrup. It still has the same properties just that it is clear.
