This recipe come from Allrecipes.com. I use to make a hard candy years ago and add the cinnamon oil to it and it tasted like the fire stick candy. Use this recipe and add the flavors you like, I bet it will turn out good. I would wrap each piece in wax paper so they don't stick together. Good luck and enjoy!

"An easy recipe for hard candy. The hardest part is waiting for the sugar to reach the proper temperature. Be patient and use a candy thermometer for perfect candy. This recipe can easily be adjusted by using different flavored extracts and food colorings."

Ingredients:
3 3/4 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1 cup water
1 tablespoon orange, or other flavored ( add whatever flavor you prefer)

extract
1/2 teaspoon food coloring (optional)
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, stir together the white sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil. Without stirring, heat to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads.
2. Remove from heat and stir in flavored extract and food coloring, if desired. Pour onto a greased cookie sheet, and dust the top with confectioners' sugar. Let cool, and break into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
