Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 C Butter
  • 2 C Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 C Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 C cut-up gumdrops (NOT spice drops or DOTS candies! And remove all of the black ones.  They are yucky!) Gumdrops can be tricky to find sometimes.

Method
 

  1. Combine butter and brown sugar in a sauce pan. Cook until bubbly, stirring constantly. Once bubbly, cool to lukewarm and pour into a mixer.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  3. In a seperate bowl mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut gumdrops into halves or fourths and add a little at a time to the flour mixture, coating on all sides so they don’t stick together.
  4. Add flour mixture to the mixer and combine all ingredients together.
  5. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan.
  6. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
