Easy and perfect addition to a cup of hot cocoa. They really do take a long time to beat, so a Kitchen Aid mixer is a must. These work best when cut apart when firm, dusted again with powdered sugar, and allowed to set uncovered overnight at room temperature to let the edges dry out a bit. I could really taste the corn syrup, which may be because I used store brand?, and wonder if a bit more sugar might work well. In any event, this was a fun project and we gobbled down the results. Thanks, CountryLady, for sharing the recipe!

These are fabulous!! If I had any "issue" with these it would be that they were not as sweet as I expected them to be. Idn't it funny how different people are so different?? They do not turn out very attractively (or at least I couldn't get them to look very pretty) but they are so tasty. Light and airy. Thanks so much!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
