Hi Dorreen,

Have ya tried these before. Sounds easier than melting all the chips for chocolate!

Alice I have not only made these many times but I can prove they're delicious - if you glanced at my hips you'd plainly see the results rotflmao

These are easy and if you're a dark chocolate lover like I am you will have a new favorite candy

I recall reading somewhere that dark chocolate was healthier than milk chocolate...then again maybe it was a pleasant dream

that really sounds yummy!

I'm doing a mental inventory of my cupboard to see if I have the ingredients! I'm going to try these tonight or tomorrow!

Thanks!

Trust me they won't last long :D You might want to double the recipe rotflmao

I include these when I make

/candy trays as holiday gifts and they're usually the first ones to be eaten.

Well my hips definitely don't need any

! LOL

I love to make candy items for ladies at work and for my family and

when they stop over during the holidays. I think you are right on the chocolate thing!

Chocolate always makes me feel much better!!!!!!!
