Some people call these candies “bonbons”: creamy chocolate-covered orbs of coconut, pecans, and chopped maraschino cherries.
Homemade Holiday
Mamie Eisenhower’s Fudge
In the 1950s and ’60s, this was the go-to recipe for fudge because it took advantage of packaged products from the grocery store.

Cut these bite-size candies into small squares or logs and twist them up in waxed paper, Tootsie Roll-style. Granted, “soft” is a relative term when describing caramels; these are firm and decidedly chewy.
