- Boil for about 7–8 minutes until the temperature reaches 310 ℉.

NOTES
1. Candy stage: Aim for 310°F / 155°C (or use the cold-water test: syrup hardens instantly = ready).
2. Stir to set: Mixing with a spatula helps the syrup cool faster and firm up.
3. Cutting: Wet the knife blade slightly so the toffee sticks less and cuts cleaner.
4. Variations: Use golden syrup (or maple syrup) for a different flavor, or skip the sticks and shape into wrapped toffees.
5. Storage
Store the toffee lollipops airtight at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
