1 c. Water
2/3 c. Light Corn Syrup
1 tsp. Oil Flavoring
Food Coloring
Powdered Sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Prepare a cookie sheet by generously covering in powdered sugar. Make little ditches so that the candy does not spread too much. In a heavy saucepan, mix sugar, water and syrup until sugar is dissolved. Boil until mixture reaches 300º on a candy thermometer, or hard ball stage. Remove from heat. Add flavoring and food coloring, mix well. Odor will be extremely strong at this time so prepare in a well ventilated kitchen. Pour candy mixture in streams onto the cookie sheet. Sift more powdered sugar on top of the candy streams. As the candy begins to cool and the outer edge holds it's shape, cut with kitchen scissors into bite size pieces. Do not wait until it is completely cooled, because it becomes hard and impossible to cut.
