well i'll probably date myself here but when we made this at home mom would go to the pharmacy and they would fill little vials for her in the various flavors. I think they might have actually re-filled the ones she had. we would make 8 or 10 different flavors.

Ok this is the recipe I found on the back of the Lorannoils package. I used it and it worked great!!!
Microwave hard candy
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
Powdered sugar ( Optional )
Lorann Gourmet LIquid food coloring
( I used normal food coloring)
1/2 teaspoon oil flavoring
mix sugar and corn syrup in a 4 cup microwavable glass measure. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Remove from microwave carefully and stir. Cover with a new sheet of plastic wrap. Microwave again on HIGH for 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Remove from microwave and remove plastic wrap. Careful of the steam!!!! stir in coloring and oil . Pour syrup quickly into lightley oiled cookie sheet or oiled candy molds. (score at once) Let candy cool until hardened. Break up the candy with a mallet or knife end. Dust with powdered sugar to keep from sticking together. Store in a airtight container.
