CHRISTMAS DATE NUT CANDY
This came from a family member, and although it is time consuming and requires lengthy and difficult stirring, it is well worth the effort! It makes a huge batch, freezes (supposed to), and EVERYONE LOVES IT! A roll of this candy makes a great gift (rolled in non-terry towel with design for the occasion). Haven't made this in...
