Yet another recipe Mom made when I was growing. Tastes very much like a Cherry Mash Candy bar. Needs to set up in fridge, and kept refrigerated after that.

Will have to look for the cherry chips! This sounds really good!!!


Sounds yummy! :)


Here's something a little different. Love it.


This is a candy I grew up with. Everytime we went back to Missouri my mom would buy a couple of cases to take home. For us that was all over as my dad was in the Air Force. Great Idea for Christmas gifts.


I made this candy for a big open house that I gave and people went nuts! Since we are all about the same age, we remembered eating this candy as kids. It was a big success! The only problem was finding the cherry chips, but after when I did, it was lovely!


Wow, this sounds really good! I'm going to make these, too! I've never seen cherry chips before but I'll be looking for them! Thank you for the recipe!
