  3. While mix is coming to temperature, butter a baking dish well and set aside.
  4. Once candy reached 270 degrees F, remove from heat and add in flavoring.
  5. Pour candy into the buttered dish and allow to cool until it can be easily handled.
  6. Cut into equal portions and add colors to each portion.

  8. Once completely opaque, roll out into a snake and use a sharp knife or scissors to cut into bite size pieces (make sure your utensil is buttered well).
Recipe Notes

To prevent sticking, make sure hands and utensils are buttered well before handling the candy!
