This candy is positively delicious! Be sure to use a candy thermometer and for best results use 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon oil!

My first batch came out perfect and the candy hit 300 degrees in exactly 25 minutes; my 2nd batch, I used a shallower pot and it took forever to hit 300 degrees. If you follow the directions and use a thermometer, I think you'll find this recipe easy to follow and very delicious. I'm trying raspberry in my 2nd batch and I think this candy would be yummy no matter what flavor oil you use. But definitely use OIL and not extract. There won't be nearly enough flavor if you use extract. Also, make sure you stir the oil in very thoroughly, I didn't on the first batch and parts of it were unbearably hot and other parts didn't have enough flavor. OOPS!

My grandma makes something like this, so I was looking for a recipe and found this one. This recipe is so easy! Just follow the directions as written, and don't try to rush things. You definitely need a candy thermometer. They're cheap, so pick one up when you're getting the ingredients. I spent $4 on mine.

This recipe is great but I like hot cinnamon candy! I bought 2 drams from Hobby Lobby and used that tonight to make it really spicy. Bad idea! the oils rose to the surface of the candy and any time I touched it to check the hardness my fingers would burn! I actually fixed this by "washing" my sheet under running water and even though it disolved some of the candy away it fixed my problem and I still have really spicy cinnamon!

This is the same candy my mother made.. I lost it.. then found this one.. then my sister found moms.. there is no difference and we and our children enjoyed it for years.. it sounds like some cooks get in too much of a hurry

This was really easy and yeilded enough for all my holiday gifts in one batch! I went to my local organic grocery store and bought essential oils for the flavoring. Be sure to break the pieces small as they take quite a while to dissolve in your mouth and are not really good for crunching. Also made another batch with green coloring and peppermint flavor. YUM!!

I love this recipe. I see that everyone that has tried it bought the cinnamon oil from the grocery store or crafts store. I got mine from the pharmacy. You have to have the pharmacisty order it, and it's about 5$ a bottle but you only need like a teaspoon and it's hot... I made 10 lbs of candy last year and didn't even use one bottle.

Well Apparently some people cannot cook, I made this recipe it was fine. I almost killed over from the smell but it was great, if you put powdered sugar over it brings out the spice, I find nothing wrong with it. Was spicy if anything.

This recipe was great! It was very simple to make, all it took was some minor patience. I used Lorann gourmet oil, it was extra strength, and it was bursting with flavor. I always loved cinnamon rock candy and now I got a good recipe. Too bad nobody else could enjoy this. Thanks again, tata.

this recipe sounded pretty good but it was way more work then it was worth!! like someone mentioned before there was no flavor, i even put in 2 table spoons but it still didn't taste near strong enough! it also was very sticky and did not harden all of the way.

I tried this and the person that all ready left a message was right u can't taste the flavor you probably need to try more cinnamon.

Not enough cinnamon flavor at all. It was so much work and to have it not be flavorful at all was a complete disappointment. May try the recipe on the cinnamon oil package which has more flavoring in it. Do not try this recipe - NO flavor!
