Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon flavoring extract (vanilla, almond, or peppermint)
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Once the sugar is dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture come to a boil.
  4. Continue to cook until the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage (300-310°F or 149-154°C on a candy thermometer).
  5. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the flavoring extract and food coloring (if using).
  6. Pour the mixture onto a lightly greased baking sheet or silicone mat.
  7. Let it cool completely until hardened.
  8. Once hardened, break the candy into pieces.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Notes

For a festive touch, sprinkle the candy with edible glitter or chopped nuts before it cools completely.
