I was looking for this recipe for a long time. My mother made these when i was young. I couldn't find the hot cinn. candys i wanted so i used hot wrapped cin. candys. now i don't know if there is a diff. but it didn't seem to harden on the apple. It was sticky. When i cut into them and tasted them they were very tasty. I even put them in the frig. It didn't seem to change them at all. What did i do wrong? I rate the taste a (5) and results a (3) rose

Hello!
I am a thirty-nine year old mom with two children.
I am originally from Xenia, Ohio where I have lived longer than anywhere, but have lived in many different places. Ohio is one of my favorite states...I love the different seasons here!
I love to remodel and decorate homes, when I have the time, and of course, I'm very passionate about cooking!!
There is a long line of great cooks in my family and I am trying to put together a cookbook for them, from recipes they've shared with me. I have no favorite cookbook...I love picking up new (even better...very old) ones from yard sales, Ebay, Amazon, or wherever I find a good book with a good deal!
Love the Food Network and my favs to watch, when I have the time, are Giada De Lorentis & Tyler Florence.
