Chex Candy

1 cup sugar (white or brown)
1 cup Karo Syrup
1 cup margarine ( I wonder if it was supposed to be 1 cube instead of 1 cup)
1 box of rice Chex or corn Chex

Directions
Boil sugar, syrup, and margarine together for 2 minutes. Pour over Chex. Optional: stir in 8 oz of slivered almonds and or coconut if desired.

Honey Candy

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup half & half
1 cup honey

Bring to a boil in heavy saucepan and to 252 degrees on candy thermometer or if testing in cold water, to a firm ball that can be picked up with fingers. Pour out onto buttered platter and stretch when cool enough to handle. A little butter or Pam sprayed on hands helps to keep from sticking. The more you pull the whiter the candy goes and the prettier it looks.

Do not double the recipe.
