I used to do things like that but haven't for a few years. I did give some out when we lived in the mobil home park two years ago but not like I used to.

Oh I wish you were my neighbor, we could have a ball making candy and goodies. You have to be the best neighbor in your town for giving as you do. Great Job Diane.

You can make them so many different ways. I think I'm going to try them with cocoa mixed in the powdered sugar. I've got lots of candy making to do this coming week and baking!
