Hard Candy Suckers

I really like making hard candy. I don't know why, because people don't always like to eat it afterward, but I still think it's fun!

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
1/3 c. corn syrup
1/4 tsp. oil flavor
Food Coloring

Combine sugar, water and corn syrup.
Cook to hard crack (300 degrees).
Check your thermometer first to see if it is accurate with water boiling, as this burns easily after 300 degrees.
Remove from heat.
Add flavoring and food coloring.
Stir and pour into greased sucker molds arranged on a greased cookie sheet or a marble slab.
Makes 10 suckers.

(Double fruit flavors or add 1/4 teaspoon citric acid.)
