Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 tsp butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 drops green or red food coloring
  • 1 to 1-1/2 tsp almond extract

Directions:

  1. Butter a baking sheet pan; set aside. In a heavy small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and food coloring. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage).
  2. Remove from the heat; stir in almond extract. Immediately pour onto prepared baking sheet. Quickly spread into a 13-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Using a sharp knife and working quickly, score into 1-in. squares.
  3. Recut rectangle along score lines until candy is cut into squares. Let stand at room temperature until dry. Separate into squares, using a knife if necessary, or break into bite-size pieces. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 1 pound.
