Mom use to make hard candies & suckers but she used Corn Syrup (ewh. though they were tasty! :) ) But, my children have allergies & I'd love to do the honey Lollies. Did you stop at a soft ball stage & that's why they arent very hard? Or did you go to a hard ball stage & the honey just doesn't set up for some reason?<br /><br /><br />Honey<br />When Mon(tessori)(Wal)dorf(Attach)ment Parenting meet in our home... www.mondorfment.blogspot.comHoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943559434282639231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-49482279674744447142009-11-11T16:27:22.384-08:002009-11-11T16:27:22.384-08:00These look great!
