My husband has fond memories from his childhood of how smooth and creamy cousin Mac’s carmels always tasted. Luckily, he asked for the recipe not long before his passing. Wrapping is a family affair and sneaking a sample is a definite must! They are a fun way to spread a little cheer as we gift them to neighbors, relatives, and friends, One thing is sure, they don’t last long!
