Title: Cinnamon Rock Candy
Categories: Candy, Snacks
Yield: 32 Servings

1 c Water
3 3/4 c Sugar
1 1/4 c Light corn syrup
1 ts Red liquid food coloring
1 ts Cinnamon oil
1/3 c Confectioners' sugar

Line a 15" x 10" x 1" pan with foil; butter the foil and
set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine water,
sugar, corn syrup and food coloring. Bring to a boil over
medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook for 3
minutes to dissolve sugar crystals.

Uncover; cook on medium-high heat, without stirring,
until a candy thermometer reads 300ºF/150ºC (hard-crack
stage), about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in
cinnamon oil (keep face away from mixture as oil is very
strong).

Immediately pour onto prepared pan. Cool completely,
about 45 minutes.

Break the candy into pieces using the edge of a metal
mallet. Sprinkle both sides of candy with confectioners'
sugar. Store in airtight container.

Yield: about 2 pounds.

NOTES: Cinnamon oil can be found in some pharmacies or
at kitchen and cake decorating supply stores.

We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before
each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer
should read 212ºF/100ºC. Adjust your recipe temperature
up or down based on your test.
