Cook sugar, water and corn syrup to 300ºF. (or until mixture makes a hard boil and strings when dropped into cold water). Add food coloring and oil flavoring of choice. Pour into a buttered platter and cool 5 minutes. Cut into pieces with scissors. Roll each piece in powdered sugar. (Note: If you let candy cool for entire 5 minutes, it will be too hard to cut.) |
