Take wheat things - spread with peanut butter top with another wheat thin and dip in melted choc. place on wax paper and let choc. set..... they taste just like a butterfinger candy bar.

Let me know what you think.....................

Dear saveaquilt - Thanks for this recipe. I have pretzels, too, and love chocolate covered pretzels. Will try these tomorrow.

Hugs, Holly J.

I have a recipe for Crockpot Chocolate

2 lbs. Chocolate Almond Bark
1 pkg. German Chocolate Bar
1 - 12 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
dry roasted peanuts (I used pecans)

Place chocolates in crockpot as listed above and place nuts on top. Do not stir.
Set crockpot on low and place lid on crockpot for 3 hours. Do not remove lid until end of 3 hours. Remove lid and stir to combine chocolates and nuts.

Drop by teaspoons full onto wax paper or into candy cups (I purchased the candy cups at Michaels). Makes about 100 candy cups.

A really easy twist to rice cripie treats. Instead of melting marshmellos, Cook a can of sweetened condensed milk til it turns to caramel sauce, then add rice cereal. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper, when hardened, dip into melted chocolate or bark.

I did an online search and found WAY TOO many recipes, different ingredients, too many choices, LOL. Lots of work just sorting thru them.

Line a 15X10X1 cookie sheet with foil

Put saltines in a single layer on the pan

Melt butter and stir in sugar and boil 1 to 2 minutes
Pour over the crackers

Bake 350 for 8 to 10 minutes or until bubbly

Remove from oven and immediately put the choc chips on top
Let them melt and spread evenly

Sprinkle the toffee chips on top of that and cool completely

Cover and refridgerate for 1 hour or until choc is set

Break into pieces and store in air-tight container

I LOVE this recipe ... I've made many different variations, starting with just the hot sugar/butter over saltines then sprinkle coconut on top. Or use chopped nuts of your choice. Then do a diagonal drizzle of white and reg chocolate.

This is a great recipe to make for kids to take to school (without nuts cuz of allergies), for teachers, my PO delivery lady. I like to take some to my local library for the staff. etc etc etc. Fast, easy and so delicious!

oops, I do put coconut on top b4 popping in oven, not after ... it toasts the coconut nicely if you do a heavier sprinkling of coconut than a light one.

Where does one purchase white candy bark? Thanks
