Personal Notes:
This is my favorite of mom's candies. It's a tricky one to make and most of the time it kind of sugars. That last few years mom made this, she did it in the microwave, or part of it, & it was nice & creamy. I don't know how she did it though. I tried and it didn't turn out to well. If this recipe isn't right, someone let me know.
