1 3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
Food coloring as desired
1/4 tsp. flavoring oil
1/2 c. light corn syrup
Dash of salt
Confectioners' sugar

In a small saucepan combine sugar, water, corn syrup and salt; stir until sugar dissolves. Cover and bring to a rolling boil. Remove lid, place thermometer in pan and cook until 250 degrees. Add food coloring and continue to cook to 300 degrees. (Remove from heat at 285-290 degrees as temperature will continue rising to 300 degrees.) Let cool a few minutes. Add flavoring oil and cover 5 more minutes.

Pour into buttered 7 x 10 inch pan. Cut with shears into strips as soon as cool enough to handle. Cut into squares or diamond shapes. When cool, dust with confectioners' sugar to keep from sticking. Makes about 50 pieces.
