INGREDIENTS

2 c Cane sugar
2/3 c Light Karo
3/4 c Water
1 t Oil flavor* & color
1 t Or more citric acid**

INSTRUCTIONS

Have color/flavor/citric acid ready when finished cooking! More or
less, some flavors are stronger than others. *Put citric acid in
fruit-flavored candies for tartness. TEST YOUR THERMOMETER EVERY DAY!
To test: Place it in cold water & bring to boil. If water boils at-
say 210 instead of 212, reduce cooking time 2 degrees. ***I use a
TAYLOR thermometer. Wilton sells them now. Spray PAM in molds & on
surface. Not too much & only once per session. USE A THIN PAN, NOT
HEAVY! Candy must set a few minutes in the pan & the temp will rise,
burning the candy in a thick pan. Bring mixture to boil. Put lid on
for 3 minutes <to wash down sugar crystals>, add thermometer & DON'T
STIR. When therm. reaches 285-290D. remove pot from stove.Wait for
temp. to lower below 260^ before adding color/flavor/citric acid.
<Will cook flavor out if too hot.> Cover pan after adding citric acid
so it won't fade the taste. I add about 2 ts citric acid. DON'T STIR!
Use the tiny viles of Lorann oils. Avail. in cake supply shop or drug
store. I pour the cooked candy into a GUTTMAN candy funnel <holds
entire recipe.> Thats the quickest way to get it in molds befor it
cools & hardens. Of course, spray funnel! I pour some into molds &  the
rest onto my marble slab. The part on the slab: I roll it into a  long
cylinder & cut into "pillows" w/scissors. Dust finished candies  with
powdered sugar so they won't "melt" together. There is one very  nice
sucker mold. It is a white ring w/ a slit for the stick. <Don't  spray
stick.> All you do is spray mold, add stick, fill w/candy, cool  &
remove easily Comes in 2-3 sizes, round or heart-shaped. I beleive  it
is Guttman Brand & available here at Sugarcraft. About 2 dz in a  pack.
This is my kids favorite Christmas candy. You will want to make
several flavors. Experiment on how-much flavor. All vary. *Don't add
too much on the mints. Takes more on the
cherry/strawberry/lemon/orange, etc. There are at least 50 oil  flavors
available to choose from! Shared by Dolores McCann, Hamilton  OH  From
