Personal Notes:
This is very easy and very good!! I started making this last year and it was a
big hit. As with anything you make with corn syrup it is very hot and sticky
and you must move fast, lol. I find the times vary greatly so I would use
shorter times then what this says to use. Oh and lastly, usually whatever bowl
you use for this will never be the same so watch out ;)
