lost candy recipe?

I lost a recipe I had for a white fudge type candy. All I can remember is that it had candied cherries, walnuts and sour cream,and of course sugar in it. It set firm, like hershy's old fashion fudge. Does anyone know how to make it?

    Ditch the candy and make cookies instead!

    Merry Christmas Cookies

    1/3 cup shortening (crisco)

    1/3 cup sugar

    1 egg

    2/3 cup honey

    1t. lemon flavoring

    2 3/4 cups all purpose flour

    1t. baking soda

    1t. salt

    mix all up until the flower thoroughly. Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together. Then blend with shortening mixture. Chill dough. heat oven to 375 degrees. roll dough. spray the pan with pam. use cutters to make shapes (they can be any holiday cookies). use all the dough, do not waste. bake for 8-10 mins. when cooled put any kind of icing or decorations. makes about 5 dozen 2 1/2 inch cookies. ENJOY!

    Sounds like divinity, but I couldn't find a recipe that had sour cream, here is the best one I found:

    Divinity (with variations) recipe

    2 2/3 cups granulated sugar

    2/3 cup light corn syrup

    1/2 cup water

    2 egg whites

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    2/3 cup coarsely chopped nuts

    Cook sugar, corn syrup and water (use 1 tablespoon less water on humid days) in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Cook without stirring to 260 degrees F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball that holds its shape but is pliable.

    Beat egg whites in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. (For best results, use electric stand mixer, not a portable handheld mixer because total beating time is about 6 minutes and mixture is thick.) Continue beating while pouring hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla. Beat until mixture holds its shape and becomes slightly dull. (If mixture becomes too stiff for mixer, continue beating with wooden spoon.) Fold in nuts. Quickly drop mixture from buttered spoon onto waxed paper. Let stand at room temperature at least 4 hours, but no longer than 12 hours, until candies feel firm and dry to the touch. Store in airtight container at room temperature. Yield: 48 candies (1 per serving).

    Divinity is a divine candy. To add your final touch, indulge in one of these variations:

    Cherry-Almond

    Add 1/2 cup chopped candied cherries; use almond extract instead of the vanilla extract.

    Peppermint

    Add 1/2 cup crushed hard peppermint candies and, if desired,2 or 3 drops of red food color.

    Chocolate-Mint

    Add 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, 2 drops green food color and 1/4 teaspoon mint extract.

    NOTE: Making divinity can be a little tricky, but it helps if you start with the spoonful test. Drop a spoonful of the divinity mixture onto wax paper. If it stays in a mound, it has been beaten long enough. If the mixture flattens out, beat another 30 seconds and check again.

    If the mixture is too stiff to spoon, beat in a few drops of hot water until a softer consistency is reached.
