Cook syrup to hard-crack stage, about 15
minutes (300 degrees), stirring and testing

refrigerate until firm, about 10-15 minutes.
Makes about 36 drops. Store airtight in a

choco/crispy mixture, mix a little more
crispy cereal into it and drop by teaspoonful
onto a waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Chill
until firm.)
