Chocolate Loves

This is another of my family's favorite candy recipes that I always make for Thanksgiving and Christmas. These are so simple and easy to make but taste like you have slaved in the kitchen. These make great gifts, too!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 40

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 2  baker's unsweetened chocolate squares
• 2  cups sugar
• 1⁄2 cup  whole milk
• 1  cup walnuts, finely chopped
• 1  cup flaked coconut
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 3  cups rolled oats
• 1⁄2 cup crunchy peanut butter

Directions

1. Bring to a boil, stirring for 1 minute, butter, chocolate, sugar and milk. Remove from heat.
2. Add nuts, coconut, vanilla, oats and peanut butter, mixing well.
3. Let mixture cool enough to handle. Roll walnut-sized balls and place on wax paper to finish setting up.
4. Store in a covered container at room temp or in the refrigerator, if you prefer cold candy.
5. These can be made 1-2 weeks in advance as they keep well.
