      HARD BALL:  Cooked to 121–129 °C (250–265 °F) The syrup forms a hard, sticky ball.

      SOFT CRACK:  Cooked to 132–143 °C (270–290 °F) The syrup forms longer strands that are firm but yet remain pliable.

      HARD CRACK:  Cooked to 149–154 °C (300–310 °F) The syrup forms stiff strands that are firm and brittle.
