Ingredients
•
1 cup water
•
3 1/2 cups white sugar
•
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
•
1 tablespoon almond extract
•
1 tablespoon red food coloring
Directions
1
Lightly grease a 12x18-inch or larger baking sheet.
2
Combine water, sugar, and corn syrup in a large heavy saucepan; heat over high, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spoon, until sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring and bring to a boil. Boil until a candy thermometer reads 310 degrees F (154 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat.

When bubbling has ceased, stir in the flavoring and a food coloring. Spread into the prepared pan so that the candy is no more than 1/4 inch thick. Cool for 45 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator, crack into pieces and enjoy!
