FAQs
1. Can I use other types of sugar besides granulated sugar?
Yes! Brown sugar, powdered sugar, or even honey can be substituted, but adjust the amount to your taste preference. Honey will make it slightly more moist.
2. What if my microwave doesn't have a specific 'melt' setting?
Simply heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the sugar is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
3. How can I store leftover sweet?
Store any leftover sweet in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigeration is optional but may slightly alter the texture.
