In some old files, I found this...

Chemo Candy

1 c sugar
¾ c light corn syrup
2/3 c water
1 TBSP cornstarch
2 TBSP butter or marg
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
½ tsp cayenne pepper
8x8x2 buttered pan

In 2 qt saucepan, add sugars water cornstarch butter and salt. Heat to 256F, hard ball stage. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, cayenne. Pour into buttered pan to cool. Don’t scrape the sides of the saucepan or the candy will crystallize. When the candy is cool enough to handle, butter your hands and pull until satiny and stiff. Pull into long strips, cut into 1” pieces, and wrap with wax paper.
This recipe developed at Yale for chemotherapy patients with mouth sores to eliminate pain.
