How To Make Theater Box Candy At Home
There's a good chance you've never walked into a theater box at a movie theater. Most people have seen them: tiny little boxes with a candy bar in the front, a snackable treat in the middle, and an item that can typically be considering a favor for the person who buys it. But did you know that theater boxes hold a lot more than treats? They can actually tell you a lot about a movie! Let's take a look at some of the most fascinating pieces of information you'll gain from a theater box's past.
Theater boxes are mostly made of glass, and they're built to withstand years of abuse. However, the candy inside is still going to be exposed to a lot of moisture. If the candy isn't stored properly, it can begin to degrade quickly. A candy store owner should always keep their candy on the lowest shelf possible. Boxes that are positioned too high will begin to fall down and tear as the contents fall out.
When the temperature outside begins to get too hot, candy storage containers can quickly go moldy. This can occur if the box is sitting in a basement, a garage, or even inside a car. In order to avoid having this happen, it's important to store your theater candy in a completely airtight container. The best way to do this is to use a tote to cover the entire box or to put the candy in individual pieces inside individual packages.
Even though the boxes are completely airtight, some may become so brittle that they shatter. They can break when they're placed on top of each other, when they're crushed by the edges of a table, or when they're dropped on the ground. The fragile boxes will likely shatter rather than break when they're placed on top of a flat surface, so make sure they're not placed on a table that has a lot of legs. You also shouldn't allow them to be placed on soft surfaces such as carpeting or silk carpets.
Before placing your theater candy into the container, thoroughly clean the inside of the box. Any candy residue should be removed first, then you can fill with the desired amount of candy. Cover the whole box with a plastic bag to keep the candy in place. If there are any pieces of candy that don't melt into the bottle when melted, put them in another container to store. You can also place melted candy into the container if it doesn't melt all the way down.
Next, place the inside of the box on the counter or table. Then, turn on your light and shine a flashlight inside the box. You'll be able to see the outline of the candy, but it will be dark inside. You want to be sure that the theater candy is completely smooth, so hold the box upside down until you're satisfied. If it wobbles or moves a great deal, you may want to place it back on the counter or table.
After smoothing out the surface of the theater candy, use a hot iron to cook the wafers. Always allow them to burn at a high temperature. Once they're done burning, carefully lift them from the heat and place them on a paper plate. It's important to not let the candy cool on the plate, or it will turn to a brittle powder. Let the wafers cool and store them away in a sealed container.
Now that you know how to create theater box candy, you can let other people taste your work. When giving out the treats, you can have people sign a little slip of paper for inclusion in the prize draw. You might also consider making up a small fortune jar with some colorful theater box candy that has been nicely arranged inside. Fill the jar with candy bars of varying colors. Your guests are sure to be pleased by your thoughtful thoughtfulness.
