Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Cup water
3 3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup light corn surup
1 tsp red liquid food coloring
1 tsp cinnamon oil
1/3 cup confectioner's sugar

Steps:

  • Line a 15-in X 10-in X 1-in baking pan with foil and butter the foil; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine water, sugar, corn syrup and food coloring. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook for 3 minutes to dissolve sugar crystals. Uncover; cook on medium-high heat, without stirring, until a thermometer reads 300F (hard-crack stage), about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat; stir in cinnamon oil (keep face away from mixture as odor is very strong). Immediately pour onto prepared pan. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  • Break into pieces using the edge of a metal mallet. Sprinkle both sides of candy with confectioner's sugar. Store in airtight containers.
