My female parent makes the best homemade candy. The absolute best.

I’m sorry, but this isn’t up appropriate to debate. She’s perfected it over the course of 40 years including refined her recipes at both sea-level including high altitudes. It’s stunningly delicious inside each and every way including her three most famous candies (and my personal favorites) are English toffee, peanut brittle, including soft caramels.

Her soft caramels honestly stay so soft including chewy including gooey including delicious. They have a deep buttery flavor including they are RICH. It’s really quite strange as they are solid inside their individual not much wax paper wrappers, but they completely melt inside your mouth including erupt with caramely flavor goodness.

Anyone who tastes them is blown away. Absolutely shocked at how amazing they are.

One of these days I’m going to convince her to open a candy shop.
