  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      cup           granulated sugar
     1/2  cup           light corn syrup
     1/2                dram LorAnn flavoring -- (1/2 tsp.) (as
                        -- desired)
                        LorAnn liquid food coloring -- (as desired)
                        Powdered sugar -- (optional)

Thoroughly mix sugar and light corn syrup in a 4-cup microwave-safe glass
measure.  Cover with plastic wrap.  Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes and 15
seconds.* Remove from the microwave and carefully remove plastic wrap.
Quickly stir the sugar mixture and then cover with a NEW sheet of plastic
wrap.  Microwave on high for 3 minutes and 15 seconds.* Remove from microwave,
carefully remove plastic wrap and stir.  After boiling has ceased, stir in
coloring and then flavoring.  Pour syrup quickly, but carefully onto prepared
cookie sheet and foil or into the waiting molds.  As the sugar mixture begins
to set up, you may want to score with a large knife to mark squares.  Break
into pieces when cool.  Cool completely.  Lightly dust with powdered sugar on
both sides, brushing off excess.  Break into small pieces.  Store in airtight
containers between waxed paper.
