Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon oil
  • 1/4 tsp red food coloring
  • Crushed candy canes (or peppermint candies), for topping
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Candy thermometer

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat without stirring.
  2. Let the mixture boil until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
  3. Once at 300°F, remove from heat. Quickly stir in cinnamon oil and red food coloring.
  4. Pour mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into silicone candy molds. Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
  5. Allow candy to cool completely. Break into bite-sized pieces and dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • Cinnamon oil is strong—handle with care.
  • Use a candy thermometer for accurate results.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
