Meet the Cook: This wonderful candy recipe makes a big batch - enough to fill several Christmas gift boxes and still have treats left for my husband, Albert, and our grandchildren. One of our daughters-in-law shared the recipe a few years ago. -Katie Stutzman, Goshen, Indiana

Amazing flavor! The maple really goes well with the nuts. I served these at a bridal shower & they were a hit!

Wonderful, just like my Mother made for Christmas, except she used walnuts instead of peanuts.
