These were a tradition for the holidays in my house growing up. It was my grandmother's recipe and both of my brothers would take a bag home to have later.

  • Hi nandarcook,
    Brown sugar is actually listed further down the page, so I think they mean for you to add broth the brown and white sugars. Happy baking!

  • In the ingredients list, there is 1 cup of sugar. In the instructions, it says to add the sugars (plural). Is there only 1 cup of white sugar?
