@Regrann from @fisherlibrary - "One may eat all this sort of candy one wishes without depriving our Soldier or Allies of sugar" Mary Elizabeth Evans has confectionery shops in New York and Boston, and during wartime she created and promoted recipes that used fruits and other sweeteners to conserve sugar. In 1918 she compiled them into a book called Mary Elizabeth's War Time Recipes. This recipe for maple sugar caramels also includes most of a recipe by "Lillian" for puff paste laid in.
