Pulse 4 to 5 times until the        mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside. Combine        the sugar, corn syrup and water in a 2-quart pot. Put        over medium heat, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Add the        butter, clip on a candy thermometer, and bring the        mixture to 230oF/110oC, about 1 to 2 minutes.                When the sugar syrup reaches 230oF/110oC, take the pot        off the heat and remove the thermometer. Add the vanilla        and the dry mixture, stirring continuously with a        silicone spatula until well combined. Pour onto a half        sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat. Cool until        the mixture is cool enough to handle, about 10 to 15        minutes.                Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Add 2 drops of        yellow food coloring to 1 piece and knead the dough        until the color is consistent throughout. Add 2 drops of        orange to the second piece, and knead until the color is        consistent throughout. Leave the third piece white. Roll        each piece of dough into a strand, about 18" long.               Cut each strand in half. Roll 1 of the white pieces into        a strand that is about 1/2" thick and about 22" long.        Repeat with a yellow piece and orange piece. Lay the        strands side by side and press them together using your        fingers. Cut the strand into 4-inch pieces. Lay the        strands, 1 at a time, onto the silicone mat and press        into a wedge shape, like a triangle.                Use a wire butter slicer to cut the candies into pieces.        If you don't have a wire butter slicer, use a knife,        metal bench scraper or pizza cutter to slice the dough        into small pieces. Repeat the procedure with remaining        dough. Lay the finished pieces on a piece of parchment        or waxed paper to dry for 1 hour. Store in an airtight        container with parchment paper between each layer.               RECIPE FROM: https://www.foodnetwork.com               Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives              MMMMM              ...
