This recipe Lance wrote at school, I think he was in the 5th or 6th grade (1980) in Chillicothe, Missouri. I am not sure who gave him the recipe, but he and his friends loved it.  I also remember that they soaked toothpicks in cinnamon oil and sucked on them at school.
I still have the original recipe he wrote on ruled notebook paper. I have made several batches of this candy; it is easy and has a nice taste.  Reminds me of cinnamon balls, from when I was a kid.
