So, I was at our local little place yesterday - love this shop - and ran through the old sweets I remember from childhood. Honestly, I've never liked the taste but I like the smell so I bought some. They odor such Christmas to me.
While I was talking to the auditor, she told me this recipe. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks simple and delicious and adds festive style to the simple old past of gummy bears. Let me know if you try it.
