  • Lightly grease a 12x18-inch or larger baking sheet.
  • Combine water, sugar, and corn syrup in a large heavy saucepan; heat over high, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spoon, until sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring and bring to a boil. Boil until a candy thermometer reads 310 degrees F (154 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat.
