I cut this recipe in half to make it for the first time since I wasn't sure if I would like this type of candy and didn't want too much laying around. Well, it did not turn out right at all doing that... the gelatin never set so it's still more like thick gooey applesauce than like a jello or gummy candy, which is what I think the recipe is going for.

However, the taste of this gooey mixture is still fabulous! I can tell if I can get the gelatin to set this will be a delicious candy. I will try again with a full recipe and see if I can figure out where it went wrong the first time :-)

This was my first attempt at making candy, and this was the right choice! Easy to make, and absolutely delish! Reminds me of turkish delight. Looks gorgeous in my Christmas goodie bags for friends and family!
