    As a child, some of my fondest memories of Christmas, my Mother always had ribbon candy. I'm 75 now..
    Thank you for sharing your gift.
    You have truly made my day watching you.

      @GogiRegion 6 місяців тому +4

      It should. It adds small air bubbles into the candy, which gives it a softer texture. If that method goes out of style, candy is going to become much harder.

    Growing up, my mother would always buy her favorite candies. One of her favorites was Logan's ribbon candies. I don't recall any special flavors. I think they were all vanilla but it could've been something different like peppermint, clove or spearmint. Those were favorite flavors of hers guaranteed to keep my sister and me away from her stash (but not from her stash of ribbon candy!)...
