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.)

Caramel

So I just took this from The American Homemaker. I've always wanted to make this and I don't want to lose this recipe. So here it is.

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 c. sugar
1 c. butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c. light corn syrup

Cook and stir constantly in heavy pan until the mixture reaches 240. (I love that she put this next part in, because I would have freaked out LOL) If you see flecks of brown, don't worry, just keep stirring- the whole thing will turn a darker caramel color. Take off stove and add 1 tsp vanilla. Pour into a buttered 9x13 pan and cool until the next day. Cut and wrap in wax paper.
