Done this recipe 4-5 times, now. Was trying to copy cat Sam’s Club Lemon Yogurt coated almonds and the flavor of the coating was better than the store bought. Problem is out side of my first attempt, which hardened almost instantly, get the coating to harden? Tonight I got it up in the 230-245 range, it’s an hour later (ant room temp) and it’s still like melted Carmel?

Has anyone made this yet? I could not get it to hit the soft boil stage without the mixture burning and leaving burned bits in the cause - AND I was stirring constantly. Decided to just pull it off the heat and proceed. Crossing fingers it works. I was hoping for a more yogurt-looking thick coating but this is much more like a glaze.
