Tips:
- To test the soft ball stage, drop a small amount of the boiling sugar mixture into a cup of cold water. The mixture should form a soft ball that can be easily molded.
- If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little more water. If it becomes too thin, continue cooking until it reaches the soft ball stage.
