RECIPE BACKSTORY
Pearson's Candy Company in Minneapolis came out with the Nut Goodie Bar in 1912. This recipe is a good imitation. I'm not sure what the origin of this particular recipe is--there are several similar ones floating around--but it is a keeper. Great for the holidays! My friend, Pam Rehm, made this particular batch and she suggested using a 9 X13 pan to give the candies a little more height.
