    I remember watching you make this recipe at your book signing and my daughter couldn’t stop eating and helping you cut them out :) I think I will have to make these with her as she really wants candy corn but with her allergies, all the candy corn in the stores are a no-no as they are made in plants + shared equipment with nuts and gluten.
