Arias, who loves science and art, researched how to make rock candy and, in his mother\u2019s words, \u201cgrew these glorious things from scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a science to candymaking, and crystallizing sugar produces varied results. Freund and Arias suggest making a lot of rock candy in case some turn out to be underwhelming. Keep in mind, however, that smaller, thinner rock candy is actually easier to eat and enjoy, according to Freund.<\/p>\n<p>Here, mother and son share their recipe for rainbow rock candy. Freund, a freelance video journalist, also filmed Arias making the candy.
