Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup water

Flavor and Stabilizers

  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon extract
  • 3–5 drops red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and have your candy thermometer ready within reach for precise temperature control.
  2. Combine Sugar, Corn Syrup, and Water: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently stir together granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat without stirring to avoid crystallization.
  3. Cook to Hard Crack Stage: Attach a candy thermometer and heat the mixture until it reaches 300°F (149°C), known as the hard crack stage, ensuring the candy will harden with a crisp snap.
  4. Add Cream of Tartar and Remove from Heat: Quickly stir in the cream of tartar to stabilize the sugar mixture and immediately remove the saucepan from heat to prevent burning.
  5. Mix in Cinnamon Extract and Food Coloring: Add the cinnamon extract and red food coloring, stirring carefully and quickly to blend without creating bubbles.
  6. Pour and Spread the Candy: Pour the hot candy onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it thin with a spatula if needed. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature until hardened.
  7. Break into Pieces and Store: Once cooled and set, break the candy into shards or preferred shapes. Store in an airtight container to keep the candy crisp and flavorful.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer for accurate temperature control to achieve clear, crisp candy.
  • Avoid stirring the mixture while boiling to prevent crystallization and graininess.
  • Measure and prepare all ingredients before starting since candy-making progresses quickly.
  • Store candy at room temperature in an airtight container away from humidity to prevent stickiness.
  • Handle broken candy shards carefully or with gloves to avoid cuts from sharp edges.
