Mix all together in a heavy bottom sauce pan. let it come to a low boil until it reaches 300°. Remove from heat and allow bubbles to subside. May take just a minute. Pour into coated metal cutters on a Silicone mat on a cookie tray and allow to cool. Be very careful as this can cause severe burns if it touches your skin. Gently remove cooled peices. Use a creme Brule torch to remove bubbles and cloudiness. Spray with confectioners glaze to seal.
