<p>I made myself some candy! I came across a <a href="http://www.kingarthurflour.com/blog/2011/08/02/lorann-flavors-lolly-lolly-lolly-get-your-flavors-here/">recipe for hard candy</a> that you made in the microwave. I ran to the pantry and got cooking!</p>
<p>I made strawberry, banana and raspberry.</p>

<p>They turned out really well. The recipe I found was to make suckers. I decided to just pour it all out on a cookie sheet on parchment paper then break it into pieces.</p>
<p>I used flavored extract. The recipe doesn&#8217;t recommend it, but I just used a lot more (about a teaspoon or slightly more) to make sure it had good flavor. Then I added couple drops of food coloring into it. I thought they turned out great!</p>
<p>Next, I need to find some cinnamon flavored extract. MMMM. </p>
<p>Oh, I also came across another <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Lemon-Drops">recipe to make lemon drops</a>. I need to try this again. My first batch I cooked too long and it ended up burning. Carmel flavored lemon drops were not what I was going for. The second batch I was a little gun shy, and I don&#8217;t think I cooked it long enough because it never hardened enough to break apart. It tasted good, but wasn&#8217;t easy to eat. So I&#8217;ll be working on this recipe to make it work. It has the potential to be delicious!</p>
<p>Oh, and I just came across <a href="http://cooklikeyourgrandmother.com/2009/05/how-to-make-lemon-drops/">this lemon candy recipe</a> that I want to try. I&#8217;ll let you know how it turns out!</p>
