Directions:
- Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Bring sugar, corn syrup, and 2 Tbs water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Don’t stir, but occasionally wash down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to prevent crystals from forming; boil until mixture turns golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour the melted sugar mixture in a line down the center of the pan. Using a skewer or the flat edge of a large knife, spread sugar into a thin flat sheet. Glass slides are pretty thin, so the thinner the better. It will also be easier to cut in the next steps.
- Once you have the mixture spread into a flat sheet, let it cool and harden for 5-10 minutes. Once the mixture is hard, pull it away from the mat or parchment. If its super thin, try not to crack it.
- Place the blade of a large knife (not necessarily your best) directly into your burner to heat. If you have an electric stove, you can use a lighter. Once the blade is hot, begin to cut your sheets of sugar into strips. Cut edges to be the length of a real slide. Its good to have a glass slide to use as a template.
- If the edges are really rough, dip your finger and water and smooth them out.
- Lay your cut slides on your baking tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Take slides out of fridge. Using a toothpick, a bamboo skewer, or small paint brush, paint on the blood circle in the center. You don’t need too much. A small droplet will be enough. If you put too much on, it will run all over the slide and make a huge mess. Refrigerate again until the dye is dry and you’re done!
