Shhh, Don't Tell My Dentist

I must admit, I have a great fondness for any sort of candy that could potentially pull out all my fillings.

Black licorice? So good!

Sour patch kids?  More please!

Caramel?  Must have it now!

And so I found myself spending my Friday evening stirring a glorious mixture of cream, sugar, and butter for a long (LONG) time and in the end creating these little beauties!

Both so cute and so delicious!

(I better start socking away money right now, because I'm afraid I'm going to have quite the dentist bill after eating these.)

Oh, and here's the recipe that I used.  I give it two very sticky and delicious thumbs up.
