Nancy's Angel Food Candy

My sister makes the BEST Angel Food Candy!

My sister's homemade Angel Food Candy is so delicious! She is probably the best home baking chocolatier I know. She has the knack to temper the chocolate properly and the patience to create the most beautiful and delicious chocolates around.

Every Christmas and Thanksgiving Day family get together she would arrive with the most beautiful array of homemade chocolates - at least 6 or 8 varieties, some with nuts, decorations, chocolate covered cherries, maple inside, and more. They were masterpieces!

Prepare the pans:

- Have a large sauce pan for cooking the candy on the stove top.

- Lightly brush a large rimmed cookie sheet with butter. Or, brush with butter and line it with parchment paper.
