Here's a no-fuss candy recipe your kids can help make! Candy molds and the little drams of flavored oils can be found at your local hobby stores.
OLD FASHIONED HARD CANDY
Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2/3 cups light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 dram (1 tsp) Flavor Oil
- 1/2 tsp Food Coloring
- Powdered Sugar (optional)
Directions:
- In large saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
- Bring mixture to a boil without stirring. When syrup temperature reaches 260°F, add color. Do Not Stir; boiling action will incorporate color into syrup.
- Remove from heat at 300°F or when drops of syrup form hard, threads in cold water.
- After boiling action ceases, add flavoring and stir. Use caution when adding flavoring to avoid rising steam.
- Pour syrup into lightly oiled candy molds or onto greased cookie sheet and score to mark squares.
- When cool, break into pieces and dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Store in airtight container.
