Recipe Introduction
My aunt made this candy every Christmas when I was a little girl. I looked so forward to going to her house. She would eliminate the coconut and nuts and color some of it green, using mint flavoring. She had a variety, including pink with chopped cherries. She even made solid chocolate ones. The sky is the limit with this recipe. I think you will like it although it is not her original, it is pretty much the same recipe.
