Hints: after number 2 only stir when necessary.
Can also add a bit marshmallows or marshmallow cream.
I’ve read that corn syrup will make it creamier, but then you wont have the brown sugar/molasses taste. I’ve never tried it w/ corn syrup.
My grandmother gave this recipe to me when I was younger and I’ve used it for years.
