Instructions
Generously coat a cookie sheet with confectioners' sugar
and set aside.
In a heavy bottomed saucepan
stir together the white sugar
water and corn syrup until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high and cook to a temperature of 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C)
or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard
brittle threads. Remove from heat
and stir in the flavored oil and food coloring.
Immediately pour the sugar mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet in a thin stream (this helps it cool). When the candy is cool enough for the outer edge to hold its shape
cut into bite size pieces with scissors. Let cool completely
