Stir until bubbles have thinned.

Sprinkle candy with remaining sugar. Cut into 1-inch squares or decorative shapes with small cookie cutters. Roll candy pieces in sugar to evenly coat; shake gently to remove excess sugar. Let stand, uncovered, overnight at room temperature before packing or storing.
