A Fun, Fruity Treat You Can Make at Home
Fruity, chewy, and perfectly sweet — these homemade Peach Rings taste just like the ones from the candy store, but even fresher. With just a few simple ingredients like sugar, corn syrup, and water, you can create a delicious gummy treat that’s perfect for snacking, gifting, or satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup corn syrup
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Syrup Base
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup.
- Stir gently and bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Mixture
- Allow the syrup to simmer until it thickens into a candy-like consistency.
- Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
3. Shape the Peach Rings
- Pour the hot mixture into ring molds (or onto a greased tray, then cut into rings once set).
- Let cool completely until firm and chewy.
4. Coat and Serve
- Roll the cooled peach rings in extra sugar for that classic candy-store finish.
- Store in an airtight container to keep fresh.
Pro Tips and Serving Suggestions
- Add a few drops of peach extract or food coloring for authentic flavor and look.
- Toss the finished rings in a mix of sugar and citric acid if you like a tangy, sour candy kick.
- These make great party favors or gifts — wrap in cellophane bags with ribbon.
