Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup water
3-3/4 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups light corn syrup
1 teaspoon red liquid food coloring
1 teaspoon cinnamon oil
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with foil; butter the foil and set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine water, sugar, corn syrup and food coloring. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook for 3 minutes to dissolve sugar crystals. • Uncover; cook on medium-high heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage), about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in cinnamon oil (keep face away from mixture as oil is very strong). Immediately pour onto prepared pan. Cool completely, about 45 minutes. • Break the candy into pieces using the edge of a metal mallet. Sprinkle both sides of candy with confectioners' sugar. Store in airtight container. Yield: about 2 pounds. Editor's Note: Cinnamon oil can be found in some pharmacies or at kitchen and cake decorating supply stores. We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cinnamon rock candy turned out bitter. I think I might have used too much cinnamon.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cinnamon rock candy didn't turn out. The crystals were too small and the flavor was weak.

This cinnamon rock candy is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cinnamon sticks. I always have a few sticks left over after I've used them in other recipes, so this is a great way to put them to good use.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of cinnamon you like, and you can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or ginger, to taste.
