Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- dash of salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon oil
- 3-4 drops red food coloring
- powdered sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Bring sugar, corn syrup and a dash of salt to a boil and let boil until it reads 300 degrees on a thermometer or reaches hard-crack stage. Remove from heat and stir in food coloring and cinnamon oil.
Immediately pour onto a parchment lined pie pan or 8X8 in. pan. Once it cools completely and is hard, gently tap on the candy to crack it. Place candy pieces in a zip lock bag and pour a spoonful of powdered sugar in. Seal the bag and shake to coat the candy.
This recipe will also make about 12 hard suckers. Just pour into sucker molds placed on parchment paper instead of pouring into a pan.
