I have toyed with the idea but there is just the two of us here. My wife
usually has pretty good will power and avoids eating sugar and carbs
except as a rare treat. I don't want to get stuck eating it all.

My mother used to make candies. She made some chocolate covered cherries
but my favourite was the coconut chocolates. They were like Mounds, but
better.

She also made Nanaimo bars, and I am talking real Nanaimo Bars, not
those crappy things they sell in stores.
