Our son, Lance, got this recipe from one of his friends at school. I think he was in the 5th or 6th grade (1980) in Chillicothe, Missouri. I am not sure who gave him the recipe, but he and his friends loved it. I still have the original recipe he wrote on ruled notebook paper. I have made several batches of this candy over the years, and am using it now with our grandsons; it is easy and has a nice flavor that reminds me of those hard candy cinnamon balls, from when I was a kid. They were like a powdered sugar lollipop without a stick.
