      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 300ºF/150ºC (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 212ºF/100ºC. Adjust your recipe temperature
  up or down based on your test.
