I once knew a man whose name was Fred Pattie. His wife's name was Patty Pattie. I'm not kidding.

But wait, it gets better.Fred Pattie, who was an over-the-road trucker, made the most amazing candy, which he would give as gifts during the holidays.My favorite? Peanut Butter Patties. This candy tastes just like those iconic, round favorites we all love.Ever since Fred gave me that recipe, this candy has been a holiday staple in my house, and now my kids even make it, and not just for the holidays.I keep mine in the freezer after I make it, but really, it disappears so quickly, it isn't necessary.
