Ingredients

• 1 ¼ C of sugar (granulated)
• 2 Tbsp of water

Directions

1. Add the sugar and water to a small pot. Turn the pot on over the lowest heat setting possible and stir with a wooden spoon until small clumps of sugar form. (chopsticks work better than a wooden spoon btw)
2. The goal is to clump as much sugar together as possible (minimizing the amount of loose sugar) while not creating any overly-large clumps.
3. If there seems to be too much loose sugar and not enough clumps, add a small bit of water and stir again. Don't add too much water or you'll end up with soggy sugar.
4. Let the mixture sit over low heat for 15-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This essentially dries out the sugar into the clumps you just created. (If the mixture doesn't seem to be sticking into ball-like clumps, you can turn the heat up to medium low for 30 seconds or so, then return to low heat--just don't let the sugar melt down into caramel).
5. Remove from heat and let cool completely (clumps should harden as they cool!).
