Pioneer Apple Candy

We have been studying Little House in the Big Woods this last semester for literature.  On the last day we had a little (and I mean really little and quick) celebration.  We made can lanterns,  played a couple of old pioneer games and made a few treats.  We started out making Molasses Taffy which turned out horrible.  I think I overcooked it, so it had a burnt black licorice taste.  I decided we would try one more and these were a hit.  This kids thought the texture was different, but all in all we really liked them.  I am interested in making them with honey or agave.
