  4. Add food coloring, stirring with metal spoon until thoroughly mixed.
  5. Continue cooking until the temperature reaches hard crack, or 300 degrees F.
  6. Remove pan from heat and let it cool about 3 minutes, then add flavoring oil, and mix it very well.
  7. Cover the pan and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  8. Pour the candy into greased molds (for lollypops) or a marble slab or into a greased shallow pan.
  9. As soon as it is cool enough to handle, cut into squares with scissors or roll into balls or shapes.
