1 c. sugar 1/3 c. brewed coffee 1 T. corn syrup ¼ t. baking cocoa ¼ t. cinnamon	½ t. vanilla extract 12 wooden craft sticks cellophane ribbon
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, coffee, corn syrup, cocoa and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Continue to cook over medium heat, without stirring until a candy thermometer reaches 290 degrees for about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla: stir well. Pour into greased 2-cup glass measuring cup. Working quickly, pour tablespoonfuls into circles on a greased baking sheet and lay a stick in each circle. Allow to cool at room temperature until hardened. When cooled, wrap with cellophane and tie with ribbon. Store in an airtight container. Makes one dozen stir sticks.
