For best results, use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar mixture reaches the hard-crack stage. This is crucial for the texture of the Fairy Food. Work quickly when adding the baking soda, as the mixture will set rapidly. Be careful, the sugar mixture is extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Use caution and a long-handled spoon. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate or add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other toppings to the melted chocolate for extra flavor and visual appeal.
