Categories: Snacks, Candy
     Yield: 28 Ounces

   1/4 c  Butter; cubed, +1 tb, divided
     2 c  Light corn syrup
 1 1/2 c  Sugar
     2 ts Peppermint extract
   1/2 ts Salt
     6 dr Red food coloring

 Grease a 15x10x1" pan with 1 tb butter; set aside.

 In a heavy small saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar. Bring to a
 boil over medium heat. Add remaining butter; stir until melted.
 Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 250°F/121°C
 (hard-ball stage).

 Remove from the heat; stir in the extract, salt and food coloring.
 Pour into prepared pan. Let stand for 5-10 minutes or until cool
 enough to handle. Divide into four portions.

 With well-buttered fingers, quickly pull one portion of candy until
 firm but pliable (color will become light pink). Pull into a 1/2"
 wide rope. Repeat with remaining candy. Cut into 1" pieces. Wrap
 each in waxed paper.
