Remove candy from the pan by lifting out the parchment paper. Rap against the counter and use your fingers to break it into individual pieces. (Active time: 5 minutes)
For a deeper caramel flavor, use brown sugar instead of white.
Make sure your baking soda is fresh for the best rise.
Accuracy is key! Ensure your candy thermometer is accurate by testing it in boiling water (should read 212°F/100°C at sea level).
Store in an airtight container to maintain its crisp texture.
