Mallory, How nice to know I’m not alone! Lesson learned: we need thermometers, right?! Thanks so much for the compliment, btw. I love meeting like-minded folks!

that’s so funny, i did the same thing with a fudge candy i tried to make–it came out like a goo that was too hard to pour over anything, but impossible to cut. so i put it in a tupperware and put it in the freezer and grumbled. then i took it to my parents house a month later thinking i could make a cake topping with it, and put it in the microwave, and then it came out a chalky fudge. it was so bizzare!! but its IS all about the thermometer and temp….which i didnt have. woops!

anyways. i like your blog. i like to talk about food to talk about everything else too

Thanks, E.P.! And you should give taffy a try!

What a wonderful gift for your dad and so thoughtful. Sigh. I love caramel and can’t bring myself to make it because I’ll be 8000 pounds.

What a sweet story! It’s lovely that you made those for your father. That’s a fantastic gift idea.

My dad isn’t a caramel fan, but he’s all about some taffy. I have NO idea how to make that, but the thought would be nice…
