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.
