Mix first 6 ingredients together to blend, then beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes. Add nuts and candies. Pour into a greased and floured 13x9 inch metal baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 degrees F for 40 minutes until done. Start checking at 30 minutes, as it can burn easily.
