Ann Naughton Goldsmith

In a large saucepan, place:
3 3/4 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1 cup of water

Cook until candy is hard and brittle when tested in cold water. Remove from heat and add a few drops (3) red food coloring. Stir in 1/8 ounce cinnamon oil (get it from the pharmacy). 

Pour the candy on a piece of foil dusted with powdered sugar. When the candy is cool, crack and place in a container with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.

This recipe had been in the Goldsmith family for many years. When Sarah Goldsmith was 8 years old, she was taught how to make this type of candy.

Rocky Road Pie

1 1/2 cup cold half and half or light cream

Crust: use a graham cracker or chocolate crumb crust.

Pour half and half into a large bowl. Add the pie filling mix. Beat with a wire whisk until well blended, about one minute.

Let stand for 5 minutes. Fold in the remaining ingredients. Pour into the crust. Freeze until firm. 

Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving.
