As children now watch T.V., play games, and listen to music, making candy was a favorite activity for a winter Sunday afternoon. Maybe it was fudge or perhaps popcorn balls but oh so delightful was candy making time. Here are favorite candy and confection recipes of our Adlandpro friends. Look dentist, here we come.
