Candy Girls Key West

Homemade glass candy, once a popular sweet sold in the Bahama Village community after church on Sundays, was a tradition in danger of disappearing. Adriene Leggett Casamayor, youth director of Trinity Wesleyan Methodist Church, decided to bring it back with the help of some of the church youth. Casamayor, whose great-great grandmother came from the Bahamas to settle in the Keys, came up with recipes for glass candy (similar to a Jolly Rancher), pulled peppermint and old-fashioned fudge, with guidance from cousin Pat, 94.
