Instructions

  1. 1 Break almond paste into small pieces over a medium bowl. Add 1 cup of confectioners' sugar and work it in with your hands until incorporated. It will be crumbly. Add another 3/4 cup of sugar and work it in really well. Pour in corn syrup and work it in until evenly blended. Spread remaining sugar out on a clean work surface and knead dough until smooth and uniform, 3 to 5 minutes. If dough seems too sticky, knead in more sugar. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour. It should have the consistency of modeling dough.
  2. 2 Break off small pieces of marzipan to color, kneading in color thoroughly until you arrive at desired color. Then blend colored pieces into larger portions of dough. Dust a work surface and rolling pin with confectioners' sugar. Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using small cookie cutters to make candies.

  1. 1 Generously grease two 9-inch pans and one baking sheet.
  2. 2 Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in a heavy 2 quart saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved; then cook without stirring, lowering the heat and cooking more slowly during the last few minutes, to the hard crack stage (300 degrees F). If sugar crystals form on sides of pan, wipe them off with a damp brush.
  3. 3 Remove from heat, add oil flavoring and enough food coloring to color; stir only to mix. Pour into greased 9-inch pans. Set one pan of candy over a sauce pan containing hot water (unless you have a helper to help cut the candy). As soon as the other pan of candy is cool enough to handle, cut it with scissors into 1-inch strips. Then snip the strips into pieces. Work fast. Drop the pieces onto the buttered baking sheet. If the candy cools too quickly, set it on a saucepan over hot water to soften it, but if it gets sticky, return at once to the work counter.
  4. 4 Toss in a small amount of powdered sugar to keep from sticking together. Repeat with the second pan of candy.
