Absolutely love this recipe. First had it in 1974 when attending the Worlds Fair in Spokane. Clinkerdaggers used more sugar than normal chefs do now, making a thin layer of "candy" that had to be tapped with the back of your spoon to crack. It was much better than what we get nowadays. Thanks for addition!
