Does this work with low-fat soy milk? It's all I have in the house.

I've never tried it with low fat milk but I doubt it'll be a problem since there is so much margarine. Let me know if it works out.

I tried making these but I couldn't get the mixture to go above 212 F. How long do these generally need to heat for? After 20 minutes at 212 with no increase in temperature, I just gave up.

maggiehc 7 months, 2 weeks ago said:
Throw it back on and keep stirring and cooking. It will take about 45 minutes from start to finish. The water has to evaporate and so that the mixture can cook down and the sugars can caramelize.

I hope that helps and I got you before you pitched it!

I doubled the vanilla and added approximately 1/8 tsp almond extract. Sublime.
