How to Make Cinnamon Candy

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup light corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage (300-310°F on a candy thermometer).
  2. Remove from heat and carefully stir in ½ teaspoon cinnamon oil and a few drops of red food coloring (optional, for a richer color).
  3. Quickly pour the hot candy mixture into a well-greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
  4. Allow the candy to cool and harden completely at room temperature (at least 2-3 hours).
  5. Once hardened, gently break the candy into pieces. Toss the pieces in ½ cup powdered sugar to coat evenly.
