I have been looking for this recipe for years! My Grandmother made these every year and passed away before I could get the recipe from her. I always loved her Elegant Martha Washington Candy. I sure hope this recipe tasted like grandmas. She used black walnuts, because they had them on their property. I will be trying this recipe and keeping it, hoping my Grand kids will like it as well as I did.. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
