I looked on the web to try and find out if when you make the hard candy should you let it cool a little then pour both colors in the mold at the same time to get the two different colors and found this recipe for making the candy if you do not have one. This is a basic recipe for hard candies. But I do believe that you can let the candies cool a little before pour then you pour one color on one side and the other color on the other side of the mold. I haven’t tried it but more than likely will. In a large saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a boil without stirring. When syrup temperature reaches 260o F, add color. Do not stir; boiling action will incorporate color into syrup. Remove from heat at 300o F or when drops of syrup form hard brittle threads in cold water. (Temperature will continue to rise after removing from heat, so remove precisely at 300o F). After boiling action ceases, add flavoring and stir. USE CAUTION WHEN ADDING FLAVORING TO AVOID RISING STEAM. Pour into lightly oiled [vegetable oil] candy molds (not chocolate molds), or onto greased cookie sheet and score to mark squares. When cool, unmold or break into pieces. You can also dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Store in airtight containers....
