2 2/3 cup sugar
1 cup white karo syrup
1 cup water
Boil above ingredients over medium heat until it reaches the "hard crack" stage (300 degrees) Remove from heat.
While mixture is boiling prepare the following:
Mix together and set aside
1 teaspoon cinnamon oil
1 teaspoon red food coloring
Add cinnamon oil mixture to the candy mixture...stirring well. Don't inhale
Pour over large cookie sheet sprinkled with powdered sugar. (don't use teflon cookie sheets, it will take the teflon off and will be on the candy)
When cooled, break into desired sizes...you can use the end of a knife if you like.
You can get peppermint oil or cherry oil in place of the cinnamon if preferred. I also do a variation...I melt white bark (for candy making) in the microwave and add pieces of the cinnamon to that.
(real cinnamon oil...you can ask a pharmacist if they carry it or you can get it at Gygi's in Salt Lake, 3500 S. 300 W.)
