Old Fashioned Recipes?

Question

I am looking for a recipe for hard candy. You can flavor it with any kind of flavors (mint, lemon, licorice, strawberry ect) and it has powder sugar that is coated on the top of the candy. You pour it in a cookie sheet and break it when cooled. I cannot seem to find one. Anyone have it?
