That'll make it easier to get the candy off the plates.Steven Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417662224567167466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445849702035734906.post-46145202067459227892011-01-02T15:39:05.128-05:002011-01-02T15:39:05.128-05:00Yea, that's what I figured - that I didn't...Yea, that's what I figured - that I didn't let it cook enough.

The key is to really get the sugar up to that 240 temp - even if the recipe says 220-240. Let is stay there a few minutes beyond the recipe.<br /><br />Also - I use pie plates. Once it sets up hard, you can use wax paper to separate the patties in storage.<br /><br />Good luck!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200115342573135668noreply@blogger.com
