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.

Candy Making Tips
When making candy for the holidays, try to make it on dry days. The candy does not set as well on humid or rainy days.

Another good tip: pour the hot mixture onto 4 greased saucers and cover the ones you are not working with with pot lids. It will keep the mixture soft until you are ready to work with the next dishful.
If you don't want to rol the candy the powdered sugar, the margerine will make it nice and shiny - like pieces of glass.
