Edible crystals, or kohakutou (琥珀糖), is a beloved traditional Japanese snack made from agar agar. With just three simple ingredients and a silicone mold, you can produce a large sheet of heart-shaped or mineral cluster-shaped edible crystals without breaking the bank, all for under $5.

Under-filling the wells in the gem molds produces more realistic looking gems that are easier to remove once hardened. Soak the sauce pan, candy thermometer, spatula, and measuring cup with hot water as quickly as you can after you finish working to dissolve the remaining syrup. A single recipe makes about 6 dozen small candies of one color (fewer if you combine them to make "complete" jewels). Adapted from Martha Stewart.

Japanese Crystal Candy is a beautiful agar-based candy that resembles crystals. The candy is easy to make, and no special equipment is needed.
