When sugar syrup is cooked, water evaporates and sugar concentration increases as well as the temperature of the syrup. The hard-ball stage is when a bit of syrup dropped into cold water forms a hard ball that doesn't flatten when removed from the water. Although hard, it's still malleable. The temperature of the boiling sugar syrup at this stage is between 240°-265°F.
