Family-Favorite Cinnamon Candy

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3-3/4 cups sugar
• 1-1/4 cups light corn syrup
• 1 cup water
• 3 packages (6 ounces each) Red Hots
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1. Grease two 15x10x1-in. pans with butter.
2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Add Red Hots; return to a boil, stirring carefully until Red Hots are melted, about 10 minutes. (Mixture will be very hot; wear an oven mitt while stirring to prevent burns.) Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300u0b0 (hard-crack stage).
3. Remove from heat. Immediately divide mixture between prepared pans; cool completely, about 1 hour.
4. Break candy into pieces. Place confectioners' sugar in a large resealable bag. In batches, add candy and toss to coat lightly.
