My Take on the Book
If you have a sweet tooth this book will make your mouth water. The book definitely made me want to get into my kitchen to make some candy that I could bring into my staff at work. I was impressed with the variety of different types of candy that were included, but also how easy to follow the different recipes were. There were definitely some recipes that were easier than others, and for me, this weekend I am planning on making my second recipe which will be one of the Brittle recipes, though I have yet to pick which one. So get into the kitchen and make some candy with your family, this book will encourage and motivate you!
