2 cups granulated sugar one tsp. flavoring, you may

1 cup white syrup use oil of wintergreen, clove,
1 cup water cinnamon, anice or peppermint.

Mix together in pan and place on highest heat. Cook to
hard crack on candy thermometer. Remove from heat. Add
coloring and oil flavoring (one tsp. flavoring). Stir
very quickly and pour into well greased pan 11x9. Place
in a cool place and allow to cool until you can handle
it. Cut into strips with scissors. Drop into container
of confectioners sugar. Let cool. Shake off sugar and

and fill them with shampoo for use in the bathroom.
The plastic is safer than glass and since most of
the bottles have squeeze tops, the shampoo is easier
to apply to children...
