My grandmother made candy every Christmas and this is one of them and she just called them bon bons. She did the coconut, and just pecans, then cherries, and made chocolate, peanut butter and coconut fudge, divinity, I think it was called aunt bills, peanut and pecans brittle, rocky road, and pralines. She gave as gifts and sold them by the pound. She had a great following of return customers and some new. She had a pretty good business going on. I'm so glad you showed this candy recipe because my grandmother did not leave a recipe so I'm ecstatic to see you sharing this. I will be so glad to make this. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@lorrisbits]

I made these last year how you showed, not this year - this year I patted the candy part into a parchment lined cookie sheet, put them in the fridge and let it harden - when I too it out I cut them into squares and dipped, sprinkled with white chocolate sprinkles - It was so much easier! I love this recipe, they are so delicious, everyone I give them to loved them also - I just wanted to share my twist on it with you : ) Merry Christmas and you and your family are in my prayers - Hugs!

[@lennybuttz2162]

I was thinking the same thing, it would be just as good and much easier. I bet they'd even be good pressed onto a prebaked crust with chocolate on top then you'd have pretty layers showing.

My favorite candy of all time! A co-worker made some for the office and I was surprised by the number of people who didn't know what they were. She told them and several people turned up their nose at the ingredients. As we were getting ready to go home, the sweet girl came by and handed me a huge tin--nearly full! She had made a double batch and thought that might not be enough. So I cried when she gave me half and took the other half home. Best gift EVER from a co-worker! I had done the same thing a few years before that, but had tripled the recipe to give as gifts, so I know how much work she'd put into this. Thanks for the tips on using the crock pot and cookie scoop. That would've made the job so much easier! 😊

Well it's Christmas Day and I woke up this morning thinking about you. I've been watching your video's for about a month or so and really love everything about your presentation. I'm an old country gal myself and started cooking some 50 years ago and in every cooking show I've watched I had yet to see anyone that has that same ol' Southern style. At my age I still love to cook, but with age things slip from your mind in a recipe or two :o) Now I have a great "go to" that kicks that memory in. That place is you. I'm feeling like we're kindred spirits :o) You keep me in touch with my Lord and Savior, and God has surely blessed you for helping those who sometimes let him slip away. You're an all 'round wonderful person with all the things you do. Anyhoo, I just wanted to wish you and your family a beautiful and blessed Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus!

This does go back to the kitchen of Martha Washington. My father was taking down an old farmhouse that was built during the civil war and in the attic was a cookbook from the kitchen of The President’s wife it was written not typed. Before I say more no we didn’t keep it but we did keep copies of recipes we thought we would love for ourselves. This was my favorite to try to create because back in the day everything was done by hand not found in cans. Just to confirm I am 67 and was with my father when he found it I was 15. Been making these every year sense. My favorite. The original recipe in the book makes 250 candies. It also called for cooking wax that you melt in with the chocolate. Lovely video.

[@gapch4047]

The recipe I've had for 50+ years uses paraffin with the chocolate chips. Worked like a charm!

[@barbaraness1973]

I’ve been making this type of candy for at least 36 years and my recipe is the same except it calls for wax in the chocolate. It doesn’t affect the taste and it helps keep the form and from them melting together. I’ve always known these candies simply as “Dipped Candy”. It’s nice to learn the actual name.

This does go back to the kitchen of Martha Washington. My father was rearing down an old farmhouse that was built during the civil way and in the attic was a cookbook from the kitchen of The President’s wife it was written not typed. Before I say more no we didn’t keep it but we did keep our own recipes we thought we would love for ourselves. This was my favorite to try to create because back in the day everything was done by hand not found in cans. Just to confirm I am 67 and was with my father when he found it I was 15. Been making these every year sense. My favorite. The original recipe in the book makes 250 candies. It also called for cooking wax that you melt in with the chocolate. Lovely video.

My recipe also calls for the wax melted with the chocolate. But maybe I might try the way the video does it this year.
