If you follow the precise instructions you can’t go wrong. However, there is no time to spare so pre-measure the sugar, water, lemon juice, and corn syrup into a little bowl so your butter doesn’t burn. And make sure you have a pan with high sides. I regretted making a half batch, so learn from my short-sighted mistake. Also this makes a fantastic hostess gift, if you can bear to part with it. (Or keep it all to yourself and use it to make stellar sundaes with vanilla ice cream, crushed roca, and warm chocolate sauce!)
