Fun Food Recipes - Candy Recipes
By Marge
Du Plessis
Making your own candy is great fun. These candy
recipes are real fun food recipes and are all time favorites with my family.
We normally make these candies on a Saturday and the whole family takes
part. I think making the candies might even be more fun than eating them!
Try these recipes; your family will love them. You will be amazed at how
easy it is to make your own candy.
Make these candies for your next kid's party.
