Work Quickly: Once you remove from heat, work fast as mixture begins setting immediately.
Full Boil Essential: Ensure mixture reaches a full rolling boil for proper texture and setting.
Peanut Butter Choice: Use regular creamy peanut butter, not natural or no-stir varieties for best results.
Storage Success: Store in single layers separated by wax paper to prevent sticking together.
Weather Warning: High humidity can affect setting time - use refrigerator if needed in humid conditions.
