During the war, the women at my grandmother's church would donate sugar rations throughout the year so they'd have enough to make candy as a fund-raiser each Christmas. I'm lucky enough to have inherited this tried-and-true recipe. —Dorothea Bohrer, Silver Spring, Maryland

I have homemade maple syrup. Could I use this instead of the flavoring? How much?

Mmmmmm!!! Maply syrup in candy form!! Delicious, but difficult to break into pieces by hand (maybe I'm just weak)...used a small tack hammer to gently chip into pieces. I only had 2 Tblsp. of maple flavoring left, so I added 1 Tblsp. vanilla and still tasted mah--velous!!!
