    Worst candy recipe ever. Followed to the letter, using candy thermometer. Recipe gives no heat setting or approx. timeframe in which the candy mixtures will reach 300 degrees. Mine never reached past 250, and scorched all of the sudden (despite ongoing stirring). ENTIRE batch goes in the TRASH. Save yourself the headache and choose a simpler recipe. ?
