I don't think I ever made candy outside of pralines and caramel ... we always had the store bought hard candies and store bought chocolate ... but we had so many pies cakes cookies and breads that you would not think we could ever eat all of that stuff ... but by the time the family can and went with all the cousins and grandchildren grandcousins and on and on and on ... you would be hard pressed to find a leftover fried apple pie or a slice of German chocolate cake or even a dinner roll unless you had a really good hiding place ... lol lol lol ... yep I always had a secret place even as an adult but ssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell my grandbabies I would hate for them to think I would hide the last peice of Sweet Potato Pie from the little sweet peas ... now you may think that is a mean old grannie that would do such a thing but really it is wisdom beyond beleif ... is it better to hide the last peice or two and not tell anyone or have a big fight over who to give the last peice to ... so the best thing is to keep it for myself and have it even days later when everyone is gone home!!! image image image
