Comment préparer Old Time Hard Candy
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water.
- Stir the mixture over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Continue to boil the mixture without stirring, reaching 310°F (154°C) on a candy thermometer. This is the hard-crack stage.
- Carefully remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (to prevent crystallization) and a few drops of peppermint extract (or your desired flavoring) and food coloring.
- Pour the hot candy onto a lightly buttered baking sheet or silicone mat. Spread it thinly and evenly.
- Let the candy cool completely and harden completely (at least 2 hours).
- Once cooled, break the candy into small pieces. For extra shine, gently shake the candies in a sealed bag with 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
