Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This candy is delicious and no one can eat just one piece! It is very addicting! I "adopted" the name "Chocolate Thingies" because a very dear friend of mine called them that. She passed a few years ago of lung cancer. Every time I make them, I now think of her and the sweet times we had eating them under the shade tree on her front lawn. Enjoy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Sweet and salty to the max! Easy and delicious... perfect recipe for getting the kids in on the fun.
