Ingredients

  • 3 3/4 c. sugar

Method

  • Boil first 3 ingredients to 300° hard crack.
  • Use candy thermometer.
  • While candy is cooking, prepare cookie sheets with 10x powdered sugar, making several long tunnels.

  • When candy reaches 300°, add 1/2 of mixture to pan.
  • Add another 1/2 flavoring to cooking pan.
  • Pour into cookie sheets in long, thin strips.
  • Work quickly but carefully.
  • Best to do with 2 people.
  • Let cool, then break into pieces.
  • Will need 3 to 4 prepared sheets.
