Story

Making candy is not just for the holiday season. This is especially nice as a summer treat just because the watermelon taste is so much fun! I prefer to leave the confectioners sugar off so we just have the little watermelon hard candies to enjoy. Keep them cool in the refrigerator and they are a nice treat out by the lakeside or pool.
