                         Yellow - lemon or banana                               
                         Green - peppermint                                     
                         Orange - orange                                        
                                                                                
 
  Cook sugar, water and corn syrup to 300 degrees (or until mixture
  makes a hard boil and strings when dropped into cold water).  Add
  food coloring and oil flavoring of choice.  Pour into a buttered
  platter and cool 5 minutes.  Cut into pieces with scissors.  Roll
  each piece in powdered sugar.  (Note:  If you let candy cool for
  entire 5 minutes, it will be too hard to cut.)
