Author Notes
I remember standing in the kitchen with my Grandmother making these for Christmas. We lived in the northeast where we had cold long days and this candy always made me think of summer. One thing I love about these is that my Grandmother would make them and then put them outside in her cold closet and just like freezing a 3 Musketeers, they tasted great when they froze a little!! —squirrellee
