I make it sometimes. I used to do filled/painted chocolates but my molds got
old and brittle so no more of those. Have also done chocolate covered
cherries, fudge, caramels, toffee, haystacks, nut clusters, mints (fondant)
and something called Mexican orange candy. I doubt it's really Mexican and I
no longer have the recipe.

With so many friends and family members with diabetes, I make very little
candy any more. I may make one or two things this year. Not sure.
