Butterscotch Hard Candy

• 1 teaspoon plus 1 cup butter, divided
• 2-1/2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon rum extract

1. Butter a 15x10x1-in. pan with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside. Cube remaining butter and set aside.
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat without stirring. Cook, uncovered, until a candy thermometer reads 270u0b0 (soft-crack stage). Add the honey, salt and remaining butter; stir constantly until the mixture reaches 300u0b0 (hard-crack stage).
3. Remove from the heat. Stir in the rum extract. Pour into prepared pan without scraping; do not spread. Cool until the candy is almost set, 1-2 minutes. Score into 1-in. squares; cool completely. Break squares apart. Store in an airtight container.
