Grandma’s Christmas Candy

These Gumdrop Nougat Candies taste like nostalgia and Christmas' past.  And I love them.  They're sweet, soft, chewy and so delicious.  And very easy to make.  Create a batch and share them with friends, give them as gifts, and make sure to have them on your holiday treat plate!
