This was my grandmother's recipe, painstakingly reproduced by my mother. I say painstakingly, because Gram didn't write anything down, sometimes didn't measure, and would invariably forget to pass on one ingredient, lol. But, my mother persevered and we now have the recipe recorded for posterity. The hilarious thing, though, is that my husband decided to make this a couple of days back. And it was amazing! Except, I kept crunching through sugar (I like crunchy food, so this was a bonus). I said, "It's almost like you didn't mix the sugar in very well." He said, "It didn't say to mix!"
