- Gently brush crystals down into sugar mix or possibly let them collect on brush bristles. Dip brush frequently into warm water to clean off bristles.)
- 5. Attach candy thermometer to side of pan, making sure bulb is submerged in sugar mix but not touching bottom of pan.
- 6. Continue cooking about 6 min or possibly till sugar mix reaches soft-ball stage (234 degrees F.) on candy thermometer, stirring frequently.
