4. Heat everything to 271°F/133°C until it comes to a boil.

5. Let the mixture sit for 30 seconds before pouring.

6. Pour the cooled mixture into a donut-shaped silicone mold.

7. Let the molds cool until solid.

8. Remove a donut from the mold and coat it in cornstarch.

9. Gently work the candy and pull it as you move it in a circular motion so it begins to stretch out.

10. Twist the candy into a figure 8 and repeat step 9.
