HOMEMADE CHUNKY BARS!! RETRO CANDY FAVORITE!!
Today we are going retro! When Rick and I were kids, our favorite candy bar was the good old, Chunky bar! One big square of chocolate that was divided into four smaller squares full of salted, roasted peanuts and raisins. You could get them with just peanuts, just raisins or with both and while you can still find Chunky candy bars today, they are just not the same as when we were kids. My guess would be the original company changing hands more than once, switching to substandard ingredients to save the bottom line and increase profit and all the same reasons everything is different than when we were children. Today we make our own! I know you will love them. Come take a trip down memory lane, just in time to share the love this holiday season!
These start off simple and just get easier! I am using some milk chocolate chips, dry roasted, salted peanuts and regular, run of the mill raisins. Melt the chocolate and toss in the nuts and raisins. Stir well and then spoon into ice cube trays. You can, alternatively use a silicone mold intended for brownie bites, but I wanted to keep this really simple and super affordable. I didn't want anyone to think they absolutely needed to purchase anything special to make these delicious morsels. Heck, you don't need molds at all! simply scoop onto a cookie sheet and allow to set up then you have some delicious, fruit and nut clusters ready to give and share!
These are wonderful, they taste just like we remember and we will be giving these away in our treat boxes this year. I hope you will consider giving these a try for the holidays or anytime!
Happy Eating!
