HARD CANDY 
4 c. sugar
1 c. corn syrup
1 c. water
1 tsp. red food coloring
1 tsp. cinnamon oil

Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat; stirring only until sugar dissolves. Stir in coloring while cooking. When the candy reaches 280°F, stir in the flavoring oil. When the candy reaches 290°F, quickly pour into 3 mini ice cube trays or candy trays. Let cool and harden about 4 hours. Twist trays to pop candy out. Store in airtight container.

Makes nice gifts. If you make more than one batch, it's nice to make one batch green and red.
