It’s that time of year when the smell of cinnamon, sugar, and everything delicious fills the house!

This is a “do as I say, not as I do” post. I’m not a baker, but one year, I got the big idea to bake homemade candies for my neighbors. My DIL mentioned that she would like to give the grandkids’ teachers a gift, so we made one with prepackaged food since that was all the school would allow.
