*** here are some things about this recipe. It was hand written by a sweet little lady from KY on a piece of paper. I would think you would mix all the dry ingredients then add all the others. *** There is talk that you need to soak the candy slices in orange juice for a day maybe two. This was not written on the paper but can you really go wrong soaking something. I may try it for a day in the fridge and see what happens.
Not sure which I will make because they both sound super yummy.
