Set the heat to low to medium and place a candy thermometer in the pot, ensuring only the tip touches the liquid.

Boil the mixture and monitor the temperature; it should reach about 220° after 5 minutes.

Once the mixture reaches 300°, turn off the stove and let the bubbles subside before dipping.
