This is a yummy candy that i make each year to put in amongst (if that is a word) my cookies on the trays. it came from a better homes & garden candy cookbook back in the '60s. it is one that is easy to make and comes out great every time. it is very tasty and has a great crunch if you are sure to bring it to the hard crack stage.
