I have tried it and the difference is not big. 3. During the process of boiling sugar, remember to use low heat throughout the process to avoid burning it over high heat. 4. Be sure to focus on the last few minutes and don’t overdo it. 5. Peanuts and sesame seeds must be cooked, so that they are fragrant enough.
