Cinnamon Jumbles Recipe

Circa 1960 - the origins of this recipe might be as old as 600 A.D.! And most likely arrive on our shores from England where history says that the King liked them and carried the recipe in his pocket... in 1458. Not quite sure this all true. Still we can surmise that the recipe is old.
