BEST CHUNKY CANDY



Best Chunky Candy image

If you're a chocolate lover, this one's for you! Absolutely awesome! You're going to love it! These look a little rustic and would make great gifts for the holidays or any days! I remember these from a long time ago. They came in a silver foil wrapper, but I can't remember the name, unless it's Big Chunky. I don't know if they still make them or not. This makes 6 servings, but if you make them smaller, you can get more out of the recipe.Cooling time is cooking time.
