I'm on a roll here today! Here is another old recipe from the past. My Mom made this one for us as children. Always around the holidays when she baked cookies and fudge and lots of candies. My grandchildren and children certainly like this as well. Do you remember this old fashioned candy as a child? I hope you enjoy!
