(7,589 posts)36. My grandmother and her homemade candy.
My grandmother had a special talent of making homemade chocolate candy for the entire family for the Easter Holiday. She had an abundance of candy molds and once made and cooled, she would place the candy to chill in a spare bedroom with that door closed. These candies looked like the variety type that one would find in a Russel Stover Chocolate variety box, but these candies that she made were the ultimate candy of all chocolate variety candy.
Today she is 94 years old, she is still with us and unfortunately has some dementia.

Same with my Mom. Not much of a cook overall, but I would kill for her fried chicken.
