Sea Glass Candy

Heading to Lincoln City on the Oregon Coast for a family vacation...so, just for fun, I made some "sea glass candy" to take for everyone to share.

Ingredients
2 C sugar
¾ C water
½ C light corn syrup
1-2 tsp flavored extract*
few drops food coloring, if desired
2-3 T powdered sugar

* I used mint in my green candy, and raspberry in the blue...but any flavor will work.

Directions
Combine the sugar, water and corn syrup in a saucepan; heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, to 300° F. While it's heating line a baking sheet (or pizza pan or 9x13" baking pan) with parchment, lightly coat with non-sick cooking spray.

When sugar, water and corn syrup reach 300° F, remove from heat. Working quickly while candy is still very liquid, add flavor and color -- carefully, it may spatter a bit as the candy syrup is so hot. Stir to incorporate. Pour onto prepared pan. Let cool completely (15-20 minutes).

Use a clean meat mallet to crack the cooled candy into bite sized pieces (or gently drop it on the counter). Place powdered sugar in plastic bag and gently toss candy pieces to coat. Rub off excess sugar.
