Comments: Sam loves this stuff


INGREDIENTS:
1 c. water
3 3/4 c. sugar
1 1/4 c. light corn syrup
1 t. red liquid food coloring
1 t. cinnamon oil
1/3 c. powder sugar


INSTRUCTIONS:
Line a 15x10x1" baking pan with foil and butter the foil; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine water, sugar, corn syrup and food coloring. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook for 3 minutes to dissolve sugar crystals. Uncover; cook on medium-high heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300 (hard-crack stage), about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in cinnamon oil (keep face away from mixture, as odor is very strong). Immediately pour onto prepared pan. Cool completely, about 45 minutes. Break into pieces using the edge of a metal mallet. Sprinkle both sides of candy with powder sugar. Store in airtight containers.
Yield: about 2 lbs.
