Submitted by Hoosier Margie

"The aroma of the candy oil fills the house, and the neighborhood. Be careful of sensitive people as the aroma is quite strong. Some will burn your eyes, and definitely open the sinuses."

This is a ritual at our house. It isn't Christmas time until we have made hard candy! We like using the flavors lemon, butter rum, watermelon, maple, rootbeer, and cinnamon. A warning about cinnamon though...be careful and do not put your face near it. My husband put his face over it and had to stand outside because the steam went into his pours and burnt him.
