My mother was a wonderful cook and loved

to experiment with everything.

For Christmas, she would make the normal

snickerdoodles but she also made one that

we love to this day.

In a blender, grind some red hot candies

till they are the consistancy of sugar

and combine this with the white sugar

instead of ground cinnamon.

The kids in the family just love them

and they make a festive display on the table.

I think they would be neat for 4th of July!

Just Jude!
