Tips
  • Always weigh ingredients for the best results.
  • Use the best organic ingredients. This recipe has very few ingredients, so they truly matter!
  • Double the recipe if you want more (you probably will!) and use a half sheet pan.
  • This is a great candy to make ahead of time as it lasts a while. So, it is why it makes such a great gift as you can make it ahead when you have time and it still tastes amazing upon giving.
