Title: Family traditions.

Comments: For all the years I can remember as a child the holidays we always made date nut chews and peppermint puffs with my great grandma. But I lost the recipe my family had given me. I found this one and it's the exact same they come out 'perfecto' every time. And oh soooo good.[Thank you] I was in heaven the first batch I made. I was back as a child with family.
