Notes: For best results watch the thermometer carefully as the
temperature gets close to 315' and remove it as soon as it
reaches that temperature. Have the soda ready in a little bowl
and pour in immediately and stir briskly as to evenly distribute.
Have your cookie pan already buttered and ready. Set it on a
folded kitchen towel or a wooden cutting board as the candy
will be very hot. Let the candy cool completelly, then removed
from pan and break over a large bowl with the handle of a
dinner knife.
