"I made one batch without a candy thermometer and took it to the girls at work. They loved it, so my husband bought me a candy thermometer and I set out to make this for all my neighbors. I made two batches that both tasted burned, and I took them off the heat the minute the thermometer said 300. I think that is too high. I see Paula rested her thermometer right in the pan, so it was picking up the temp of the pan, not the candy. So the best bet is to follow the directions, but go with your gut on when it is done. At 300, the candy was a very dark brown and come out super thin on the cookie sheet. I'm mad that I wasted all those good ingredients, but I will make it again without the thermometer!
