Chipper Peanut Candy

Want to make something really good and really easy for your bazzaar or your childs classmates? Maybe a gift for someone with a sweet tooth? Try this recipe. These treats are actually a square but good enough to be called a candy. The secret ingredient is potatoe chips. I have made these as part of my holiday goodies for years now and everyone loves them but no one can guess what's in them. They are sweet and slightly salty at the same time and very easy to make. If you want to try something different. This is the one to try.
