I messed this up horribly the first time… redeeming myself part 1 of 3

Hearing her name feels like discovering that your parents’ real names aren’t mom/dad for the first time.

Broke the fourth wall when I heard Alissa

[nolacsanail]

The slow cautious walk to the stove..😂

[Petite_Raton]

Gurl i never knew your name was alissa!!??

[dbfr]

"i feel like i should mix it"
me, loudly at my screen: NO!
"or maybe i shouldn't"
me: oh, whew, dont scare me like that

[luvpetra]

YOUR NAME IS ALISSA??? how did i not know that😭😭

[Raevyn]

No stirring!!! A candy thermometer is the key to success and keep it low. You can have a cup of water next to you with a brush and brush down the sides of the pan. Of the crystallized sugar on the side of the pan gets into the mixture it will crystallize. You can add corn syrup to help with that tho

No you stirred when the directions say noooo stirring 😂

Thank you for your authenticity. I'm just now branching out to cooking foods I'm not familiar with. And get so discouraged when i mess up. I always loved your videos but i really appreciate this one ❤️

[nuhainaya]

love the fact that most of these commments are about not knowing her name 😭😭😭

[karllubangas]

The way she held it like it wasn't just water 😆😭

[GloriaAusy-um]

“If you don’t have a thermometer then GO BUY ON!” part had me laughing 😂

[IDontBeKaren]

The hardest part is resisting the urge to stir, but it’s the only way… good job fighting it back.

[ryanmurphy]

Walking across the kitchen with a cup full of liquid like a child cooking

[Bikinibossoms]

WHAAAA ALISSA? HOW DIDN'T I KNOW THIS

[Cabbagewool]

I had to catch my breath when she started stirring that sugar 😭😭
My culinary teacher would’ve literally killed me

[KellyBender-dgbk]

Hey hun I make candy at home frequently couple tips leave them if you don’t want them but I’ve noticed best results when you mix the sugar before hand and just don’t touch it while it boils and never scrape the edges this one was hardest for me cause it’s habit lol but using a damp cooking brush won’t disturb the crystallization if you feel the need to scrape and lastly try to keep the thermometer off the bottom of the pan it’s touching the metal so that’s the temp you’ll get instead of the temp of the liquid, good luck!!!!

[rtting.fairie]

Something my mom taught me that honestly seems to work if your carrying a full cup, look away and sing your abcs. Rarely spills lol.

[dhiore]

I love how you go from passive to aggressive so quickly 😂

That measuring cup is for dry goods. Use a liquid measuring cup. It has room above the 1 cup mark and a spout for pouring.
