But as time went by- lots of time- the boiling syrup thickened and started to look much like toffee my dad used to make for us. I used sweeto syrup concentrate for the colouring and I didn't even need a candy thermometer as the stage in water makes threads that are pliable, that's when its perfect and it looks and tastes great, my 3 year old and I are about to start stretch it. Wish me luck!!! At first I was ready to leave a really bad comment because the recipe was like water and it was just not thickening.

Hadn't thought about using kool-aide before! Should be fun!

The first time I made it I let my thermometer sit on the bottom of the pan (never used one before) and ours was a sticky mess too. But, when I learned to not set it on the bottom, the temperature was actually right and it turned out great. Also, we used pizza cutters instead of scissors and that worked out great.

Grape flavor was very bitter. I don't know if I did something wrong, (other than cooked it a little hot and got hard candy). Otherwise, easy to make and lots of fun.

It does take some time for it to get to 250 --- but not forever, so I am wondering if you have a bad thermometer. It actually happens that they go bad. I hope this help! Please let me know!

This has not been turning out for me and my girls. I don't know what I am doing wrong. HOW LONG does it sit in jelly roll pan? We have a sticky stringy awful mess! It boils and bubbles, we don't stir it and it takes forever to get to 250 degrees. How long do I leave it at 250 degress? 1st time taffy maker that does not want to admit defeat. Any helpful hints will be appreciated. HELP!
