I found this recipe on the web but I have not tried it.
ROCK CANDY
2 c. sugar
1 c. water
3/4 c. Karo light syrup 1/2 tsp. coloring
1/2 tsp. oil (flavored with lemon, cloves, peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen, cinnamon)
Cool sugar, water and Karo syrup to 290 degrees on candy thermometer. Add coloring and oil and stir. Pour into a cool buttered pan. Break into pieces as soon as you can handle it. Work fast!
