we always called this " honeycomb candy " . Yummy stuff from my childhood! [and

well beyond!] I use light corn syrup, though. Anybody know what ya do to

this to make it turn out more like whats in a Clark Bar? I know it's the

same stuff, but something different is done/added to make it less solid, and

break down into crispy layers- sort of croissant like. been trying to

figure this one out for a while now. anybody know?? I know peaut butter is

in it, but not sure if that is the only difference- haven't tried it yet,

but plan to, when I start my holiday candy making. but sure would be nice,

if someone actually had a recipe, or knowledge of how to do it.
