Equipment
- candy thermometer
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp flavoring extract I chose raspberry, but there are lots of flavors to choose from!
- food coloring I used blue, but use any color!
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a medium saucepan.
- Stir until boiling. Once the liquid begins to boil, do not stir until finished.
- Once boiling, place a candy thermometer in the liquid and monitor closely. when the liquid reaches 300 degrees, take off the heat and set aside.
- Allow the mixture to cool until the bubbles quit breaking at the surface of the liquid.
- Pour liquid onto a foil-lined (and non-stick-sprayed) baking sheet.
- Allow to cool until fully hardened. Then break apart to the size desired.
Notes
- TIP: I had a reader comment that a great way to keep them from sticking is shaking them in powdered sugar before sealing in an airtight container. GENIUS!
