INGREDIENTS:
2 cups white sugar
1 cup water
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 drop red food coloring (optional)
1/8 cup confectioners' sugar
DIRECTIONS:
In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, combine the sugar, water
and corn syrup. Cook, stirring constantly until the
sugar is dissolved; then cook without stirring, lowering
the heat and cooking more slowly during the last
few minutes, to the hard crack stage (300 degrees
F), If sugar crystals form on sides of pan, wipe
them off with a damp brush.
Remove from heat, add oil flavoring and enough food
coloring to color; stir only to mix. Pour into 2 well
buttered 9 inch pans. Set one pan of candy over a sauce
pan containing hot water (unless you have a helper
to help cut the candy). As soon as the other pan of
candy is cool enough to handle, cut it with scissors
into 1-inch strips. Then snip the strips into pieces.
Work fast. Drop the pieces onto a buttered baking sheet.
If the candy cools too quickly, set it on a saucepan
over hot water to soften it, but if it gets sticky,
return at once to the work counter.
Toss in a small amount of powdered sugar to keep from
sticking together. Repeat with the second pan of candy.
