    Aunt Saunny

    3 1/2 cups sugar
    1 cup light corn syrup
    1 cup water
    1/4 to 1/2 tsp cinnamon oil or peppermint oil -- * see note
    1 teaspoon red or green food coloring

    In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook on medium-high heat until candy thermometer reads 300F (hard-crack stage), stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in oil and food coloring,
    keeping face away from mixture as odor is very strong. Immediately pour onto an oiled cookie sheet. Cool; break into pieces. Store in airtight containers.
