  • 1tablespoonred food coloring

Cooking Directions

  1. Lightly grease a 12×18-inch or larger baking sheet.

  2. Combine water, sugar, and corn syrup in a large heavy saucepan; heat over high, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spoon, until sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring and bring to a boil. Boil until a candy thermometer reads 310 degrees F (154 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat.

  3. When bubbling has ceased, stir in the flavoring and a food coloring. Spread into the prepared pan so that the candy is no more than 1/4 inch thick. Cool for 45 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator, crack into pieces and enjoy!
