In a heavy bottomed saucepan, stir together the
white sugar, water, and corn syrup until sugar
has dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high
heat and cook to a temperature of 300 to 310
degrees F. or until a small amount of syrup
dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle
threads. Remove from heat, and stir in the
flavored oil and food coloring.

Immediately pour sugar mixture onto the prepared
cookie sheet in a thin stream (this helps it
cool). When the candy is cook enough for the
outer edge to hold its shape, cut into bite size
pieces with scissors. Let cool completely, then
store in an airtight container.
