Being a Friesen by birth, I simply couldn't NOT try this. AWESOME!! Us Friesens sure know sweets!!!!! The overall flavour is wonderful, the crunchy little bits of toffee add a great dimension, and the marshmallows give that great silky texture. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!! I used half milk chocolate chips and half semi-sweet, also reduced the amount of sugar to 1 c. and it's plenty sweet. (though that might also be the reason it stayed fairly soft) This will definitely be passed around at my dad's family gathering -- my HUGE Friesen gathering! -- this Christmas and it's sure to be a hit! Thanks so much for posting, Olga!
