Lynn,
If you look above in the directions you’ll see where you use the 2/3 cup of sugar then in another step you use the 1/4 cup of sugar. I’ve copied here for you to view. Please let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy! Happy Holidays.
Reduce speed to low; add sea salt and 2/3 cup granulated sugar until mixture becomes thick and creamy, approximately 8 minutes. Add melted chocolate and pistachios; continue to beat with mixer on low speed.
Awe; thanks darling! Hope you enjoy it. xox
