Cheesecake Jell-O Candies
This is another one of my favorite candies to make, and the color possibilities are endless. In our house, Saint Nicholas comes early in the beginning of December to fill our shoes with sweet treats. It’s an excuse for me to practice candy-making for Christmastime, and my husband doesn’t complain when he wakes up to boots filled with goodies.
