Description:

Remembering nostalgic moments of childhood, this Red Cinnamon Candy recipe is a delightful throwback to the past, evoking memories of Mom’s loving kitchen. Sometimes adorned with a hint of green food coloring for a festive touch, this candy is not just a treat but a cherished memory.

Ingredients:

  • 2 3/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon oil
  • 1 drop green food coloring (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

  2. Boil: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and continue boiling until it reaches the hard-crack stage, which is around 300Β°F (150Β°C). This typically takes about 15-20 minutes.

  3. Add Flavor and Color: Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat. Carefully stir in the cinnamon oil and green food coloring if using. Be cautious as the mixture will be extremely hot.

  4. Pour and Spread: Quickly pour the hot candy mixture onto a lightly greased 9×13 inch cookie sheet. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the surface of the sheet.

  5. Cool: Allow the candy to cool at room temperature until it hardens. This usually takes about 20 minutes.

  6. Mark and Break: While the candy is cooling, use a spatula or knife to mark it into pieces of your desired size. Once completely cooled and hardened, break the candy along the marked lines into bite-sized pieces.

  7. Serve: Arrange the Red Cinnamon Candy pieces on a platter or in a decorative container, ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions:

This delightful Red Cinnamon Candy is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth cravings any time of year. Serve it as a standalone treat, include it in holiday gift baskets, or use it to decorate desserts for a festive touch. Its vibrant red color and fiery cinnamon flavor are sure to impress both kids and adults alike.
