Here’s another amazing, old fashioned recipe from dear Adeline.
Don’t be intimidated by candy making. This does require a candy thermometer, but other than that, it’s just watching the temperature! This is my dad’s favorite holiday candy, I could make a batch just for him, in fact I have before… Y’all let me know what you think!
