I just throw my evap milk and sugar in a pot so its about an inch to 1 1/4" deep and stir while set on medium heat with candy thermometer about 1/4" off the bottom and away from the side of the pot.

just wondering if there is a better way to ensure it doesn't burn


Its called a stool.
j/k, my wife has a recipe that uses marshmellows...... ill post it later.
