Easy to cook!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar

In a saucepan, combine sugar, coffee, corn syrup, cocoa and cinnamon.
Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 290 degrees (soft crack stage), about 7 minutes.

Cool until hard.
When cool, wrap with plastic wrap and tie off with ribbon. Store in airtight container.
