The primary, and only necessary, ingredient in Rock Candy is sugar.
Rock candy is made with sugar is dissolved into warmed water, forming a syrup. Usually something like a popsicle stick is partially submerged in the solution, and over a period of time (a week?) sugar crystals will start to form and collect on the stick, forming rock candy.
People add optional coloring and flavoring to improve the final product.
That's pretty much it, there are many "How to make rock candy" videos and pages on the net.
