- Place the baking sheet back in the oven for another 4 minutes, and then remove and stir again.
- Bake for 1-2 more minutes or until the sugar is 90% melted and the edges turn an amber brown color.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and stir one last time until all the sugar has fully melted.
- Let the mixture cool completely and then break into small pieces and store in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
