Grandma Tona's Adventures Recipe

Directions
We used to make these candies every Christmas. Mom would pack them tight in a big Christmas tin and store them in the bedroom. Back then, we didn't have any heat in the bedrooms and they would stay nice and cool. These days I have to store them in the refrigerator. You can let them come to room temperature before serving.
The mixture will still be quite hot when you start to roll them into balls. So, be careful. Use some extra butter on your hands to keep it from sticking. I also sprinkle a little coconut on top of each layer in the container. And, I separate the layers with wax paper.
