Is believed to have originated in lllinois in the 1880s by the Goelitz Candy Company.
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups of powdered sugar
1/3 cup nonfat powdered milk
1 cup regular sugar
2/3 cup corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon of salt
5 tablespoons of salted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Yellow and red food coloring
Directions:
Bring the regular sugar, corn syrup and butter to a boil over medium high heat in a large heavy saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium and continue boiling for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat. While boiling these ingredients, put the powdered sugar, powdered milk and salt in a large bowl and set it aside. Add the vanilla and powdered mixture into the hot mixture in the saucepan. Be sure and mix it well. Then let the mixture sit for about 20 minutes or so until the mixture is slightly warm. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and put each into a small mixing b
owl. Add orange (mix red and yellow together) food coloring to one part and yellow food coloring to another. Knead the dough until the color is well blended. Also knead the white dough until smooth. You may want to put on plastic gloves to protect your hands from the food coloring. Roll each piece into a thin rope of equal length. Press the three ropes together side by side. Using a sharp knife, cut the ropes into triangles and shape with your fingers. You will have some with white tips and some yellow tips. The kiddies will never notice. It is best to store between layers of waxed paper so they do not stick together.
