   Recipe by: Jo Merrill This is a chewy candy with a honey-nut flavor.
     Cook sugar, honey, syrup and water to 272 degrees on a candy thermometer.
   Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Add marshmallow creme and
   shortening; beat until well blended. Fold in confectioner's sugar and nuts.
   Spread into a buttered 9-inch square pan and let stand for 24 hours. Cut
   and wrap individual pieces or dip in chocolate. Makes about 80 pieces that
   are lovely on a holiday candy tray. Jo Merrill
