Candy Corn

Step 3 Making dough

Now, take the sifter and pour the
1tbsp powdered milk
1/2 cup + 2tbsp powdered sugar
pinch of salt
 The milk and sugar shouldn't be light and fluffy in the spoon, but neither should they be packed down. Just reach the spoon into the container and leave it at that.

Stick the sifter directly on top of the pot so any powder sifted through will land on the sugar.
Pour these ingredients onto the sifter, and mash/twirl them through.
Remove the sifter (it's probably clean enough to not be washed) and stir. You will have a pale caramel dough. Stir until you have an even consistency without clumps.

Pour about 1/4 cup powdered sugar into whichever bowl doesn't have the measuring cups and candy thermometer.
With the spoon, pry the dough off the pot and into the bowl. coat the top of the dough with a thin layer of powdered sugar. If the dough isn't burning to the touch, knead it until it is firm enough to make as many balls as colors (usually 3. I made two sets of corn, so i hade 4 small balls and one large one.)
Divide the dough into the balls, and grab your food colours.
