Re: I bought.... alonewith2: My mom's best friend used to make homemade candy. I was always getting goodie baskets in college!! ;D
She made hard candy, chocolates, rock candy, mints, etc. Yummy! Yummy!!
So I guess what I'm trying to say is.....will I get a goody basket from you, Smiley? ::)
Re: I bought.... yella: Hmmm... maybe, but it won't be filled with Jetah Petah lollipops. :P ;)
Right now I'm at the chocolate stage, but I hope to graduate to fudge, then hard candy. I have to get a double boiler and a candy thermometer first.

Get a good quality candy thermometer. Go to a local restaurant supply store for one or order one from J.B. Prince online.
Also there are some excellent books out there about chocolate and how to properly temper it.
