Ingredients:
3/4 cup hot water
Light corn syrup- 2/3 cup
2 cups white sugar
Flavoring of one’s choice

• In a pan, pour ¾ cup hot water, 2/3 cup light corn syrup and 2 cups white sugar. A small pan is greatly advised for this step in order to facilitate the bulb of the candy thermometer to completely submerge in the mixture.
• Take a large saucepan, mix corn syrup, water and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved over moderate heat for about 5-10 minutes. Allow the mixture to come to a boil for another 5 minutes.
• When the mixture reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit, add food flavoring and coloring.
• Carefully watch the thermometer and once it reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the mixture or else it will burn.
• Pour the mixture on top of a greased cookie sheet. Spread the mixture around the sheet and allow it to cool.
• After the sheet cools, cut it into pieces and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
