    Title: Cinnamon Rock Candy
    Categories: Candy, Snacks
    Yield: 32 Servings

    1 c Water
    3 3/4 c Sugar
    1 1/4 c Light corn syrup
    1 ts Red liquid food coloring
    1 ts Cinnamon oil
    1/3 c Confectioners' sugar

    Line a 15" x 10" x 1" pan with foil; butter the foil and
    set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine water,
    sugar, corn syrup and food coloring. Bring to a boil over
    medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook for 3
    minutes to dissolve sugar crystals.

    Uncover; cook on medium-high heat, without stirring,
    until a candy thermometer reads 300┬║F/150┬║C (hard-crack
    stage), about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in
    cinnamon oil (keep face away from mixture as oil is very
    strong).

    Immediately pour onto prepared pan. Cool completely,
    about 45 minutes.

    Break the candy into pieces using the edge of a metal
    mallet. Sprinkle both sides of candy with confectioners'
    sugar. Store in airtight container.

    Yield: about 2 pounds.

    NOTES: Cinnamon oil can be found in some pharmacies or
    at kitchen and cake decorating supply stores.

    We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before
    each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer
    should read 212┬║F/100┬║C. Adjust your recipe temperature
    up or down based on your test.
