Candy "He Is Risen" Stones

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 2 Tablespoons corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 Tablespoons margarine (softened) 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract 2 drops red food coloring 4 drops yellow food coloring 1 drop blue food coloring Tooth picks

Have fun sculpting your own sepulchre stone, using this easy-to-make candy recipe.

Directions:

Mix powdered sugar, corn syrup, salt, margarine, and extract together to make a soft pliable dough. Slowly add 1/4 – 1/3 cup more powdered sugar if needed to make dough less sticky. Stop when the dough feels dry. Mix the food coloring into the dough.

Treat Time:

Give each family member a piece of the dough. Sculpt the dough into the shape of the stone that secured the sepulchre. Write “He Is Risen” on your stones with a tooth pick. Eat while still soft. If desired make extra stones with leftover dough and let dry for a few days until it turns to “stone”.

“And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it...And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen...” (Matt. 28:2, 5-6.)
