Dextrose Sugar Cubes
I’m trying to make sugar cubes with dextrose sugar. I need the cubes strong enough to handle, but want them to easily break down or really melt when placed in mouth.
What is the best ratio dextrose:water for the highest dextrose content per cube? And should I use a melted dextrose/water solution as wetting agent rather than just water?
