We actually use the spice gum drops in our family recipe.
Big favorite of our holiday baking.

This vintage recipe looks like a delicious one. Pinning so I can try it out one day at home.
Thanks for sharing your blog post at the #HomeMattersParty this week. Hope to see you again when the party opens on Friday at midnight EST!

I wish I could have met her! I loved growing up in their home and wondering what it would have been like to know her. These are one of my favorite treats to make because they remind me of home and my Grandma Larsen who made them often. I miss her everyday!

She was an excellent cook. And yes, she made everything, with love, from scratch. It was at her house I had my first corn dog, made from scratch. I have fond memories of being the in her kitchen, playing in the flour drawer, as she baked. I remember her yummy gumdrop bars; my mom made them, also. Thank you for sharing this recipe and the memories. Although I have no boys of my own at home anymore, I always enjoy reading your blog.?
