This super simple gluten free candy recipe will likely become a yearly tradition once you make it. So yummy, and super easy. The kids love to help make this one. Don’t be surprised when people ask you for the recipe. Originally this recipe was made with Saltine’s but to accommodate a gluten-free diet, switch out the Saltine’s for a gluten free option like Yahuda Matzo Style crackers. “

1 cup brown sugar
