Easy Candy Recipe | Jell-O Candy
My toddler and I are OBSESSED with candy! It’s safe to say that we spend a minor fortune on candy at our house. For example, when at the pediatrician, my toddler looked at the food pyramid and questioned why there wasn’t a candy category… So one day, we were both wanting candy and somehow didn’t have any at home. We had to come up with something! That was the day that I created this easy candy recipe!

My corned beef recipe is actually even BETTER when cooked on the stovetop! It is so much more tender and flavorful than…
