Lemon Cream Cheese Candy
By aohmc
This refreshing candy is cute gift ideas for your party, Easter, or just little something to give someone special. You may shape them as you desire, add more lemon zests for lemon lovers, etc. I found this little basket at Michaels for $1 and size like a small lemon.
