I don't know if this is the recipe that the person was looking for but
it sounds like it.
2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
dash salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Combine sugar, syrup, salt and water in a saucepan. Heat slowly,
stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves, then cook, stirring, until
mixture reaches 300 on a candy thermometer (a tsp of syrup will
separate into brittle threads when dropped into cold water).
Stir in food coloring and extract until blended; remove from heat.
Drop from tip of a teaspoon onto well oiled cookie sheets to make 1 1/2
inch rounds,or spoon into well oiled 1 1/2 inch molds. If syrup hardens
while shaping drops, heat slowly until just melted.
Cool on cookie sheets or in molds until firm, then remove carefully
with spatula.
