2 c. sugar
1 c. white syrup
1 c. water
1 sm. bottle flavoring (cinnamon, spearmint, cherry, etc.)

Mix sugar, syrup and water. Bring to a boiling temperature of 290 degrees (use a candy thermometer).

Put the pieces into a ziplock bag and add the powdered sugar. (Coat the candy well with the sugar.)
