Soft crack is one of the
stages
of sugar used in candy-making. It is reached when sugar is heated to between 132 and 143° C (270 to 289 °F). Sugar heated to this stage forms pliable threads when syrup is dropped into cold water. Candy made with soft crack sugar will be sticky and chewy, like
salt water taffy
