look. I'm trying to be helpful.
If you two don't appreciate my attempts at getting our gal Sundae married off to a nice, toothsome, oven-loving, country-estate owning bachelor I will take my suggestions elsewhere! *storms off whilst applying black eye-liner*

If I find a nice toothsome oven-loving country-estate owning bachelor, I might have a go at him myself.
 But wait, what is 'toothsome'? Does it mean he has SOME teeth? Which ones? |

Grandma made it all the time. I think it's hard to make. she always put a walnut on top. There aer recipes online but not exactly like Grandma's, I don't think.
They're a light airy sugar candy. Very different. This picture looks most like what she made, sans walnuts. As with anything, there are a lot of options and variations. And yes, it looks weird but is yummy. And it looks like uncooked dough but it' snot.  It has the slightest 'crunch' to it. |

I think I've had that before. Kind of like a meringue. Whip up some sugary egg whites and bake them?

No baking, but yeah. Egg whites, sugars, vanilla extract et al.

Oh, here's my grandma's recipe. It took me a minute to decipher it. Her handwriting...worse than mine!
2 c. brown sugar 1/2 c. water Boil until med hard ball in cold water (until about 240 degrees on candy thermometer Pour into 2 egg whites, beat until stiff (don't go there boys.) Drop by taps onto buttered sheet when it will hold shape. English walnut on top if desired. That's it! I guess there is no vanilla in this one. |

I hate you Ali! I just bought a few cookie cutters, but I am not artistic at all and there is NO WAY I can decorate mine that well.
 Imma make 'em and just eat 'em now.

classic, the trees and snowflakes were easy. Just put the icing on then press them into a bowl of sprinkles or coconut as I've done. So easy! The snowmen would have worked out better if I'd had more practice, so I might have to make another batch of those down the track.
 I was pretty happy with them, and best of all, they taste pretty good too.

Love them snow flakes and Christmas trees. As for the snowmen, if you had outlined the edge, the icing wouldn't have spilled, or at least as much.
