I should have just heeded the warning of the one who reviewed this before me. I'm sorry but this didn't work for me either. After following your procedure and ingredients as is, it still wasn't stiff, it was wet and liquid. I even used up more than a lb of the sugar, and it still was far from what it's supposed to look like. It was only after checking other sites that I found out how it's supposed to be done. I'll probably just make something else with this than waste this mixture.
