The sugar syrup reaches the soft ball stage at a temperature of 235-240 degrees Fahrenheit when making candy.
Peanut brittle problem. My peanut brittle seems to recrystallise into sugar instead of hard toffee. I am using a sugar thermometer to the hard crack stage. Am I overcooking or undercooking?
Unfortunately, I am having the same problem at the moment! I think that we are over cooking! Or the temperature is coming up too fast. I'm not sure though and would like a solid answer myself. Anyone? Help? :)
Can you fix caramels that needs to bee cooked longer?
YES... just melt them back down over medium low heat and let them cook until they reach whatever stage you want them to. Be careful to stir them the whole time so the sugar doesn't burn. Also remember that the higher of a temperature they reach the more stiff the end result will be.
Is caramel and melted sugar the same thing?

How can I make homemade pull candy?
To make homemade pull candy, you will need sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, and flavoring. Cook the ingredients together until they reach the hard crack stage, then pour onto a greased surface to cool. Pull and stretch the candy until it becomes light in color and firm. Cut into pieces and enjoy!
How do you make maple crystals?
Boil it to "hard crack stage" (you really need a sugar therometer for this), pour into a greased baking tray and leave to cool completely. Then hit it hard with a rolling pin to get it to shatter into crystals.
At what Kerlvin temperature will 300 g of sugar dissolve in water?
The solubility of sugar in water increases with temperature. At 20°C, 300g of sugar can dissolve in water, while at a higher temperature like 80°C, more sugar can dissolve. The exact temperature at which 300g of sugar will dissolve in water depends on the water temperature and the saturation point of sugar in water at that specific temperature.
What are the different ways to make cane sugar candy at home?
There are several ways to make cane sugar candy at home, including using a stovetop method where sugar is melted and cooked to a specific temperature, then poured into molds or shaped by hand. Another method involves using a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the sugar as it cooks. Additionally, some recipes call for the use of corn syrup or cream of tartar to help prevent crystallization.
What is soft ball stage in fudge?
When you're heating the sugar, you test for the right temperature by dropping a bit of the sugar into a cup of cold water. If it forms a soft ball (as opposed to crystallizing or being runny) you know it's the proper heat. If you're using a candy thermometer, the soft ball stage is at about 235 degrees Fahrenheit.
What are some home recipe ideas for making nougat?
Homemade nougat can be made by first heating sugar, cornstarch and honey in a pot on the stove until soft crack stage is reached. Egg whites are then beaten and added to the sugar mixture. Ground almonds are then added to the mixture and left to cool, forming nougat.
Is toffee supposed to bubble?
Yes, toffee is supposed to bubble during the cooking process. As the sugar melts and caramelizes, it creates bubbles from the steam released, indicating that moisture is evaporating. This bubbling is a sign that the mixture is reaching the right temperature for toffee, which typically requires cooking to a hard crack stage. However, once cooled, toffee should have a smooth, hard texture without bubbling.
How do you make sugar suckers?
To make sugar suckers, you will need sugar, corn syrup, water, flavoring, and food coloring. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and let the mixture cook until it reaches the hard-crack stage. Remove from heat, add flavoring and coloring, and pour into molds with sticks inserted. Let cool and harden before enjoying your homemade sugar suckers.
