This is my adult son's favorite candy. My mom makes it at Christmas time and it is anticipated by not only my son but the entire family. It has a pleasant grainy texture in the middle that just fills your whole mouth with a satisfying mouth-feel. It keeps well and only gets better with age. This is a Pillsbury recipe and it's best to use their frosting. For some reason, others turn out too soft and don't set up.
