    Mine came out barely firm enough to cut--definitely don't have the lovely crisp edges as shown in the video. I used candy thermometer and measured 225F in a couple places before remove from stove. Can anyone suggest what might have gone wrong?

    Great instructions! I'm going to try to make this with a simple homemade sugar syrup instead of corn syrup. Do you happen to know of any issues with this? Otherwise, I will post my results in a followup comment.
