This is a very rich candy that my mother-in-law made at Christmas. Nell had eight children, worked from her home as a "pie baker" for a greek resturant in Elwood, Indian. Not only could she bake pies, but cooking/baking was her nitch. Nell would give-a-way rich delicious baked goods for gifts to bring delight to other families....

These candies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time, or adding some salt to balance out the sweetness.
