Personal Notes:
We used to make this all year long and sold it at the farmer's market, Grandmother's Table and Christmas in Comfort. It makes a great brittle and was one of our top sellers. Great for gifts.

Aunt Joyce and Uncle G.D. (George) have had a long and wonderful life together. They had 2 children, Ricky and Candy. Papaw and I were very special to them and they treated us like their own kids. Ricky died of cancer in 2011 and he was one of my favorite cousins. He had 2 girls, Shay and Janee and Candy had 1 girl and 2 boys, Stephanie, Ward and Casey. Ricky and Papaw got along very well and shared the love of deer hunting. Between the two of them, they could tell some wild stories!
