Dexter Blood Slide Suckers: Eat At Your Own Risk!

Step 3 Pour Sugar Out into Sheets

Line a few baking sheets with Silpat nonstick baking mats or parchment paper.

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.

If you score the candy before it has fully hardened it wlll be much easier to snap or cut into slides when it has set.

can i substitute the parchment paper for wax paper? or is there a specific reason for using the parchment paper?

[TheNerdyDuo]

Parchment paper is rated for very high temperatures. If you're pouring "hard ball" stage sugar on wax paper, that 250-260 degrees will melt the wax right out of the paper. And then not only will your slides be all full of wax and a funny texture, they'll also be cloudy.
