How to Make Hard Cinnamon Candy

Whether it is a holiday or whether it is just an ordinary day, homemade hard cinnamon candy cannot be beat. It does take a bit of work to make, though. If you are up to the challenge, here are the steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2-¾ cups of sugar
• ¾ cup water
• ¾ cup light corn syrup
• 1 tsp. red food coloring
• 2 to 4 drops of cinnamon oil
• Greased pan
• Powdered sugar

1. Cook sugar, water, corn syrup and food coloring. The temperature will range close to 300 degrees for the ingredients to become semi-hard. Remember you are making hard candy.

2. Add oil of cinnamon. Stir slightly.

3. Carefully, pour onto a well-greased pan. Remember the candy will be especially hot.

4. Dust with powdered sugar.

5. Crack or cut into pieces.

Tips & Warnings

• Be careful when removing the candy from the stove into the pan. It is very hot.
• This candy can be addicting.
