Thank you for the recipe! My son's favorite candy in the whole wide world was Whatchamacallits. Once my father in law wanted to buy him candy, and asked what kind he wanted. John said a Whatchamacallit. He asked again, and yet again, and was about to get real mad at John because he wouldn't answer, when I came along and explained he wanted THE Whatchamacallit. The in-laws never forgot that candybar again, and my Mother In Law even made up her own recipe and made several huge batches of McIntyre Whatchamacallits. Once she brought over a big pan of them for John. His sister Kim and he hid behind her bed and ate and ate and ate. She kept sending him back for more, thinking they were sneaking around. We were sitting in the living room laughing our heads off at them pigging out on Whatchamacallits. They did leave 2 in the big pan, so we wouldn't 'know' they had been sneaking them! Kim called wanting Mama McIntyre's recipe. We searched the world over and can't find hers, so I began my search, and found yours. She is going to give it a whirl for Old Lang Syne. Thanks for helping recover a great memory!
