Hard Tac Candy

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon flavoring oil, not extract
  • Food coloring
  • Powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a very small saucepan, about 4" in diameter, mix sugar, corn syrup and water. Boil over high heat until mixture registers 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in flavoring oil and food coloring.
