How to Make Hot Cinnamon Candy
- Sprinkle an 18x24-inch strip of heavy-duty aluminum foil generously with powdered sugar.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup cinnamon.
- Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Continue to boil, without stirring, until the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage (300°F on a candy thermometer).
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and a few drops of red food coloring (optional, for a richer color).
- Immediately pour the hot candy mixture onto the prepared foil. Let it cool completely.
- Once cool and hardened, break the candy into bite-sized pieces.
