YUMMY (TODDLER-FRIENDLY) CANDY

INGREDIENTS:
2 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
1 c. water
1 tsp. oil (not flavoring)
Food coloring
Powdered sugar

INSTRUCTION:
Sprinkle cookie sheet with powdered sugar or spread a large piece of heavy aluminum foil and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Mix together sugar, syrup and water. Cook and stir occasionally until candy thermometer reaches hard crack stage. Remove from heat. Add food coloring (who does not love eye-candy candies?) and oil. Stir and pour on powdered cookie sheet. Cool. Break in small pieces (smaller pieces for your toddlers... why make your own if you couldn't create the smallest candy in the world... just for your toddler :D)

TIPS:
- Be creative with creating the color and shape: from heart to thin lines, from rainbow to color of country flags
- Add small drop(s) of natural or artificial flavoring (mint, cinnamon)
- Be aware of choking hazards, supervise your child while eating the candy
