Coffee Stirrers

List of Ingredients




1 C sugar
1/3 C brewed coffee
1 T light corn syrup
1/4 t baking cocoa
1/4 t ground cinnamon
1/2 t vanilla extract
12 wooden lollipop or craft sticks



Recipe



In a saucepan, combine sugar, coffee, corn syrup, cocoa and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until candy thermometer reads 290 degrees (soft-crack stage), about 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Immediately stir in vanilla, then pour into a greased 2-cup heat-proof glass measuring cup. Working quickly, pour tablespoons into circles on a greased baking sheet and lay a stick in each circle. Allow to cool until hardened. When cooled, wrap with a plastic wrap and tie with raffia or a ribbon. Store in airtight container.
Pairs nicely when giving a gift of coffee mugs or a coffee pot.
