Tips:
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. This will prevent the candies from being too hard or too soft.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful when handling the hot sugar syrup. It can cause severe burns.
- Work quickly when shaping the candies. The sugar syrup will start to harden as it cools.
- If the candies are too sticky to handle, dip your hands in cold water before shaping them.
- Store the candies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
