Ingredients
  

For the Candy Base
  • 2 cups granulated sugar Essential for sweetness and structure; alternative sweeteners may alter texture.
  • 1 cup light corn syrup Adds smoothness; substitutes will change taste.
  • 1/2 cup water Crucial for dissolving ingredients.
For the Flavor
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon oil For a bold flavor; use extract for milder taste.
  • 1 drop food coloring Optional; can be left out for clear candy.
For Texture Control
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Helps achieve a smooth texture.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • candy thermometer
  • Baking Pan
  • Spatula
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Grease a baking pan and line it with parchment paper, letting the edges overhang.
  2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan. Stir until moistened and bubble over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until reaching hard crack stage (300°F) without stirring, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat. Add cinnamon oil and food coloring, stirring quickly.
  5. Pour the hot mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly while avoiding air bubbles.
  6. Let the candy cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes until hard.
  7. Once cool, lift out of the pan using parchment edges and break into shards.
  8. Store in an airtight container with layers of parchment to prevent sticking.
