  • 3.75 cups white sugar
  • 1.5 cups light corn syrup
  • 1 cup water

  • Without stirring, heat to 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 the heat and stir in flavored extract and food coloring. Pour onto the prepared cookie sheet. Dust top with confectioners' sugar.
  • Let cool until hardened, about 15 minutes. Break into about 36 pieces and store in an airtight container.
