Cinnamon Candy

2 c. sugar
1/2 c. Karo syrup
1/2 c. water
Cinnamon candy flavoring
Red food coloring


Combine the sugar, Karo and water in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat and boil to hard crack (300 degrees), stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add cinnamon candy flavoring and red food coloring. (Be careful because this will cause steam and burn your face.) You can pour this onto a marble slab, flipping occasionally with a metal spatula to cool. Continue to flip until the candy no longer "runs." Cut candy into bite-size pieces. (Or, you can pour candy mixture onto a greased cookie sheet. Crack into pieces after candy has cooled and is hard. Pour powdered sugar on candy and shake in strainer.)
