The butter breaks the surface tension and pops the bubbles. If you got the sugar up to temp and kept it there for a decent amount of time then they should e pretty firm and not chewy unless you bite them. i've never put hard candy in the fridge to cool it so perhaps the rapid cooling doesn't allow for proper crystallization. Thank you for the tasty recipe, I think I'm going to test some lemon and ginger out on my GF and see if they'll help her usual bug. I've got a big pile of sage and rosemary in the garden, think it'd go well with it? next year i'll plat peppermint... in a pot, last time it nearly blotted out the tomatoes lol.

Finally had time...anyway, I let mine get to 300 degrees but I think it looks very dark and taste rather stout. Does yours taste the same? I am wondering if yours taste that way. Of course, this is all new to me so I haven't a real clue what it should taste like. :) Just curious. Thanks. C. I finally tried this.
