Add two tablespoons of sugar to a metal ladle then place directly over medium heat and while stirring constantly with a wooden chopstick until the sugar is melted and a light amber color.

Step 3

Remove from heat then add a pinch of baking soda and mix in vigorously, stirring until incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the mixture onto parchment paper in two equal circles then use the prepared measuring cup to press into a thin even layer a bit less than 1/4 inch. Let the measuring cup rest there for about 8 seconds then remove and press a shape in with your cookie cutter. Repeat for the remaining portion of candy.
