It was my dad who inspired me to first try making this candy. He remembered it from when he was a boy. The ultimate compliment was when he told me my version tasted even better! My husband is a driver with a parcel service, so he works long hours around the holidays-which gives me time to make treats! -Shelly Matthys, New Richmond, Wisconsin
