Making Hard Candy Tips

Here's a couple of tips for making hard candy using flavoring oil from the "experience is the best teacher" file.

Don't use plastic measuring spoons. It eats away at the plastic and the plastic will forever smell like whatever the flavoring oil was. (I ruined one of my favorite plastic measuring spoons this way.)

When you add the flavoring oil to the candy, make sure you're not standing directly over the pan. The steam from the oil will make your eyes water for hours to come.
