Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Nanny would just pour this out on wax paper. She also never used a candy themometer. She would drop a small dollop of boiling mixture (about the size of a dime) in a small bowl of cold water, move it around to see if it made that "soft-ball". Tricky for me, but she was great at it.

This was always in the candy bowl at Christmas!
