    Always test your candy in a cup of ICE WATER. Drizzle a teaspoon or so into the cold water and give it a few seconds to cool. Reach in and shape into a ball and check the consistency ~ you can carefully dry if needed. If it feels like the firmness you prefer ~ pull them off the stove and add your Vanilla. Works every time.
