A twist on classic candy‑bar making, these Rainbow Skittles Flavor Extract Candy Bars blend a simple sugar and corn syrup base with a trio of sweeteners and vibrant Skittles‑flavored oils. Heat and stir to combine, then pour the confection into bars that set into chewy, flavor‑bursting treats. Easy to follow and packed with fruit‑crowning color, this recipe delivers eye‑catching homemade candy perfect for parties or sweet gifting.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (120 g) light corn syrup
  • ½ cup (60 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) honey or natural sweetener
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 5 different Skittles‑flavored extracts or oils (orange, grape, lemon, lime, cherry)—just a few drops of each

Directions

  1. Mix the Sugars: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine powdered sugar, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Stir until fully dissolved.

  2. Boil to Stage: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to medium‑low and simmer around 10 minutes—targeting the hard‑crack candy stage.

  3. Flavor Infusion: Remove from heat. Carefully stir in water, honey (or sweetener), vanilla extract, and salt. The blend will bubble—be cautious.

  4. Add Skittles Extract Flavor: Once slightly cooled, mix in drops of each Skittles‑flavored extract (orange, grape, lemon, lime, cherry) for a true rainbow of taste.

  5. Pour & Set: Immediately pour the candy mixture onto a lightly greased flat surface or silicone mat. Spread it into a roughly ¼‑inch thick layer using a spatula.

  6. Cool & Cut: Allow to cool at room temperature for 10–15 minutes, or until the candy firms but remains pliable. Slice into 12 bars and enjoy the chewy Skittles‑flavored explosion!
