This was fun and so easy to make. Grandma lived on a farm, and had to make her own candy...to give to us grandchildren,when we visited. She would also make her own "sugar nipples" for when the babies cried. A homemade pacifier! She wet the corner of a hankie, dipped it in sugar,twisted it , tied a not and let the crying baby suck on it!!! It always worked!! Talk about a sugar high!!!!
