Easy (But Elegant) Chocolate Candy

"These are so easy to make that the kids can help me prepare them. It is just as easy to make a wide variety of these fancy morsels which allows you to set forth an impressive candy tray. Also makes an excellent gift. I prefer to work in small batches but the recipe can certainly be doubled or tripled."

  • The amount and combinations depends on personal taste but don’t add so much that the mixture doesn’t hold together.
