Salty Peanut Chews

"These sticky, chewy candies are positively addictive. They'll keep, covered in the refrigerator, for 1 week. They remind me of a candy I had, growing up in Canada, called 'eatmores' or something like that (a LONG time ago). If anyone remembers the name of this candy/confection, I'd love to know it. From the LCBO magazine."

  1. evelyn, i just might need to avoid your recipes, these ARE addicting :) Loved them. And shouldnt be eating them lol.
     
  2. I haven't made this yet, so I probably shouldn't rate the recipe, but it sure sounds good! I just wanted to tell Evelyn/Athens that the candy she's thinking about is called EatMore - my fiance really likes that candy bar and it is still available in stores in Canada. I'll have to try making this treat for him - I'm sure he'll enjoy it. Thanks for posting.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
