Ingredients:

Serving

3-3/4 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups light corn syrup
1 cup water
2 to 3 drops red food coloring or color of your choice
1/4 tsp watermelon flavoring or flavoring of your choice
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

Butter two 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pans; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water 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).
Remove from the heat; stir in flavoring. Immediately pour into prepared pans; cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar; break into pieces. Store in airtight containers. Yield: 2 pounds.
