Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract or 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon extract or 1 1/2 tsp orange extract, etc.
- food coloring
Directions:
- You will need a candy thermometer.
- Mix first 3 ingredients in large saucepan.
- Stir over heat until sugar dissolves.
- Bring to a boil and stop stirring.
- Continue to boil until temperature reaches 310 degrees F, it may take 20- 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- After boiling has stopped, stir in extract& coloring of choice.
- Quickly, spread out onto a LIGHTLY greased baking sheet so that the candy is no more than 1/4 inch thick.
- Candy does not need to touch all edges of baking sheet.
- Cool, then break into pieces.
- Store in an air-tight container.
- SPECIAL NOTE: After reaching 310 degrees, I like to put 1/2 of mixture in a separate kettle, so that I can make two different colors and/or flavors.
