Ingredients

Dash salt
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon oil
-
3 to 4 drops red food coloring

12 lollipop sticks
Directions

1.
Butter 12 assorted 3-in. metal cookie cutters. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; set aside.

2.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and salt. 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).

3.
Remove from heat; stir in oil and food coloring (keep face away from mixture as oil is very strong). Immediately pour sugar mixture into prepared cutters.
