This recipe is very easy and comes out very smooth. Will definitely need to have a good candy thermometer and go for 240 degrees. As someone else said, it takes 15-20 minutes to get there and use the water test to make sure it's at the right stage. I use Jif peanut butter for making this as it's a little less oily than some other brands. I would also recommend you test out your thermometer in some hot or boiling water before making candy. A lot of the cheaper ones seem to be good for a few uses and then no longer register accurately.

We made this for a family function and because I had so much to do, I had my husband make it. He does not cook, much less bake and with a minimal amount of guidance, it came out beautifully! I use a high quality cocoa powder and this was very chocolatey. I was really hoping there would be some leftovers as most of the family prefer fruit desserts, but all I had was an empty pie plate...no one could believe my husband made it either! Very simple recipe and incredibly good!
