This comes from my "Baby" Cousin, Sharon (or Sissy, as she is still known). She's the youngest of the 6 of us "Grand-daughters". I don't understand it, but this as a slight buttery flavor... must be the buttered foil she pours this out on. Read more She was quite creative with flavors and colors too! See less
Ingredients
- 3 3/4 cups white sugar shopping list
- 1 1/4 cups light corn syrup shopping list
- 1 cup water shopping list
- pure flavor oils of your choice shopping list
- food colors of your choice shopping list
How to make it
- Combine all ingredients, stir and bring to a boil.
- Stop stirring and let temperature reach 310 on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat, and after it stops boiling:
- Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of any flavoring you choose (make sure you use only pure flavoring or candy flavor oils, not extracts)
- Add 1 or 2 drops of coloring, or as much as needed to get desired color.
- Stir gently so it doesn't get cloudy and pour quickly and carefully in a buttered, foil lined cookie or jelly roll pan. If you don't stir too much, you get a stripy-swirly pattern - cool!!
- Dust with powdered sugar.
- (You can also cover the foil with powdered sugar and skip the butter part)
- When completely cooled, crack and enjoy!
