If you don't have snow, you can use a snow cone machine or just pour the hot sugar on top of ice cubes to make interesting shapes. We took the sugar to 245ºF (120ºC) which made a chewy candy. If you want to harder candy, heat it higher. Hard ball 260ºF (127ºC). Soft crack 285ºF (141ºC). Hard crack 302ºF (150ºC).
