   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      cups          granulated sugar
      2/3  cup           light corn syrup
      3/4  cup           water
    1                    dram LorAnn flavoring oil -- (1tsp.) (or as
                         -- desired)
                         LorAnn liquid food coloring -- (as desired)
                         Powdered sugar -- (optional)
 
 In a 2-quart kettle or large saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup and
 water.  Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.  Bring mixture to a boil.
 DO NOT stir mixture while it is cooking.  When temperature of syrup reaches
 260 F, add color.  Do not stir; boiling action will incorporate color into
 syrup.  Remove from heat precisely at 305ø F (temperature will continue
 rising), or until drops of syrup form hard, brittle threads in cold water.
 After boiling action has ceased, add flavor and stir.  USE CAUTION WHEN ADDING
 FLAVORING TO AVOID RISING STEAM.
 
 Pour syrup onto lightly greased cookie sheet or onto a heat resistant surface
 covered with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.  (As the sugar mixture
 begins to set up, you may want to score with a large knife to mark squares.)
 Cool completely.  Lightly dust with powdered sugar on both sides, brushing off
 excess.  Break into small pieces.  Store in airtight containers between waxed
 paper.  (Yield: approx.  2 lb.)
