Fremgangsmåte

Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in 2-qt sauce pan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a boil without stirring. When syrup temperature reaches 260°F, add color. Do not stir, boiling action will incorporate color into syrup. Remove from heat at 300°F, or when drops of syrup form hard, brittle threads in cold water. After boiling action ceases, stir in flavoring. Avoid rising steam when stirring. Pour syrup into lightly oiled candy molds or onto greased cookie sheet and score with knife to form bite size pieces. When cool, break into pieces and dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Store in airtight container.
