1/3 c. light corn syrup
1 c. sugar
2/3 c. water
1 drop food coloring, any color
1/2 tsp. vanilla, peppermint, chocolate or any other kind of extract

Put the first 3 ingredients in a medium-sized pan, stir and cook. While it is boiling, take a cookie sheet with high edges and grease it until it is slick (Pam works best).

Use a candy thermometer to tell when the hot liquid reaches 290 degrees, then take it off the stove, add flavoring and food coloring to your liking, and pour it out onto the cookie sheet. Let it cool, then break it into pieces and enjoy!
