Default Home made Belgian candy

Well bought citric acid and made a 3lb batch.
It has a nice clear amber color.

I put some into my beer I brewed 2 days ago and wow, talk about taking a long time to dissolve.

So is it normal for this home made candy to be real sticky?

I put the rest into zip lock baggies in the freezer.

If its sticky then you probably didn't get it hot enough when you made it.

I've made candi sugar before, and each time it's gotten really sticky as well.
