I have to admit, I like the waxed paper-cookie sheet idea better :-)  Although I was also wondering if a drying rack like you use for cookies would also work?  (With paper underneath it of course.)
The marble sounds lovely, and I would certainly love one of those in the future, if candy-making proves successful enough that I would do it again :-)  However, I feel the need to point out (I can't remember if I ever did before) that I am a full-time college student with no car (not to mention a limited budget and *very* limited free time), so while I love hearing all suggestions, I think I'm only going to act on "home-remedy"-type advice :-)

who is going to try to sneak in the next stage in candy-making between classes today! :-)
