where is the best place to get good candy recipes

My kids and I love to make candies, cookies and sweets especially on the weekends. I have a bunch of old recipes that has been passed down through my family but I also like to go online and check out new and sometimes different recipes. One of my favorite places to check out for goodies is www.cooksrecipes.com But here are a few that I have gotten from there that my kids really love and I am sure daughter will too.
