My mom made such good candy. She made hand dipped chocolates, fudge, divinity, English toffee and many more varieties. She taught me the skill, but I can never quite make candy as she did. For many years mom and I spent two days making 20 lbs. of hand dipped chocolates for Christmas gifts. She always contributed her success to the "candy pan" for cooking the candies. Our husbands' boss (John Wise) was a recipient of a two pound box each year. He loved it and said he always looked forward to it. One year we decided to enter our chocolates in the county fair. We won first prize and a comment was made that they were more beautiful than "See's" chocolates. I always told my mom I wanted to inherit the "candy pan." I did. It's very heavy duty. It's actually an old bottom to a pressure cooker. This was the candy I made for Christmas in 2015.
