She’s always made Christmas candy but never this particular recipe. She enjoyed watching ☺️. After watching it she said you really did a good job explaining everything and she made other comments as she watched. She also said how much she liked the nativity behind you 💙. Thanks for making this video- we had a little Christmas in July and was very nice to share with my mom.

    This does go back to the kitchen of Martha Washington. My father was taking down an old farmhouse that was built during the civil war and in the attic was a cookbook from the kitchen of The President’s wife it was written not typed. Before I say more no we didn’t keep it but we did keep copies of recipes we thought we would love for ourselves. This was my favorite to try to create because back in the day everything was done by hand not found in cans. Just to confirm I am 67 and was with my father when he found it I was 15. Been making these every year sense. My favorite. The original recipe in the book makes 250 candies. It also called for cooking wax that you melt in with the chocolate. Lovely video.

    Well it's Christmas Day and I woke up this morning thinking about you. I've been watching your video's for about a month or so and really love everything about your presentation. I'm an old country gal myself and started cooking some 50 years ago and in every cooking show I've watched I had yet to see anyone that has that same ol' Southern style. At my age I still love to cook, but with age things slip from your mind in a recipe or two :o) Now I have a great "go to" that kicks that memory in. That place is you. I'm feeling like we're kindred spirits :o) You keep me in touch with my Lord and Savior, and God has surely blessed you for helping those who sometimes let him slip away. You're an all 'round wonderful person with all the things you do. Anyhoo, I just wanted to wish you and your family a beautiful and blessed Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus!

    My favorite candy of all time! A co-worker made some for the office and I was surprised by the number of people who didn't know what they were. She told them and several people turned up their nose at the ingredients. As we were getting ready to go home, the sweet girl came by and handed me a huge tin--nearly full! She had made a double batch and thought that might not be enough. So I cried when she gave me half and took the other half home. Best gift EVER from a co-worker! I had done the same thing a few years before that, but had tripled the recipe to give as gifts, so I know how much work she'd put into this. Thanks for the tips on using the crock pot and cookie scoop. That would've made the job so much easier! 😊

She did the coconut, and just pecans, then cherries, and made chocolate, peanut butter and coconut fudge, divinity, I think it was called aunt bills, peanut and pecans brittle, rocky road, and pralines. She gave as gifts and sold them by the pound. She had a great following of return customers and some new. She had a pretty good business going on.

    It's not even near Christmas and I am watching. Just subscribed thought I had but now I know for sure I did. It is nice to remember older things that folks use to do and some of us still do. Refresh the ideas of giving of course. Plus listening to you and hearing your faith is a great way to relax and let the craziness of the world just fade for a little bit and get back to loving each other. Thank you so much.

    I made these this Christmas for family and gave them out as gifts . They were a hit. Thank you for the recipe and the inspiration. ( P.S. in case anyone was worried I did it using sterilization protocols and was masked and gloved each step including porch deliveries. It was a little awkward but worth the joy of sharing with family even if we were social distancing!)

    I made these last year how you showed, not this year - this year I patted the candy part into a parchment lined cookie sheet, put them in the fridge and let it harden - when I too it out I cut them into squares and dipped, sprinkled with white chocolate sprinkles - It was so much easier! I love this recipe, they are so delicious, everyone I give them to loved them also - I just wanted to share my twist on it with you : ) Merry Christmas and you and your family are in my prayers - Hugs!

    I used to make several batches at Christmas way back in the 80's. I wish that I had known about the scoop technique then. I rolled every one of them and then chilled them and dipped them the next day. I gave them to people that I didn't buy gifts for (neighbors, mailman, etc), plus each of my siblings families got a container that included fudge, coconut strawberries, pralines, and MW candy. Most people had never heard of MW candy and loved it. I chopped my pecans a lot smaller, it made it easier to roll. I may make some. My family still asks every year if I'm ever gonna make it again.Thank you.

      I never liked coconut, but still craved these candies! The coconut texture was changed in the chocolates. I found out that I loved unsweetened coconut, though, and keep a big bag in my freezer for snacks now. I even like coconut cake now, by making it myself with unsweetened coconut.
