Ingredients:

• 2    cups sugar
• 2/3 cup light corn syrup
• 3/4 cup water
• oil flavoring (optional)
• coloring (optional)

Direction:

In a saucepan, blend sugar, corn syrup, and water.  Bring to a boil
over high heat until mixture reaches 290 degrees Fahrenheit.  Stir
frequently with a metal (not wood) spoon.  Remove pan from heat.
Allow to stand until bubbles have simmered down.  Add flavoring
and color, as desired.  Too much stirring will cause the syrup to
solidify into a hard sugary lump.  Mold into desired shapes in
Apollo Hard Candy Molds sprayed lightly with a nonstick vegetable
oil spray.  Work fast.  If mixture becomes too cold and thick, it
may be warmed for a few seconds in a microwave.

When hard candies are completely cooled, store them in airtight
containers or place them, individually, in 3- by 5-inch plastic
sucker bags.
