sugar glass

Edible shatter prop

Sugar glass is a transparent, brittle material made from sugar that shatters safely on impact.

It's used in film and theater for breakaway props—bottles, windows, glasses—that actors can smash without injury.

Also called candy glass or breakaway glass.

The stunt coordinator handed him a sugar glass bottle for the bar fight scene.
