"rec'd this from my mother-in-law in 1972. Seemed a little odd with flour and baking powder, but its a great always successful recipe."

fast, easy, great directions, although you should add for the candy novice to work fast spreading once it starts to cool, because the mixture firms up to unspreadablity really fast. Also I used almond extract
