These turned out really well, and couldn't be any easier to make. The chocolate didn't pool on the bottom, which happens to me a lot with this type of candy. They look very professional and pretty. And taste great! The only problem is that they melt awfully fast in your hand. I'm sure a more experienced candy maker would know how to resolve that.

These are so yummy! I've made them for a party and I made them today for my friend's graduation reception. I substituted dried cranberries for raisins and threw in about a half cup of marshmallows. The first time I used milk chocolate, but the second time we didn't have any so I used semisweet chocolate chips and it tastes just as good. Thanks for this recipe. :)

These were delicious but melted VERY quickly. I used peanuts instead of almonds and everyone liked them. Small is good.

This is so yummy. Perfect for that chocolate craving they have a nice crunch and chew and sweet/tangy. I used dark chocolate instead of milk, dried cranberries instead of raisins and the butter flavored shortening (they were all what I had on hand). They turned out wonderfully, the butter shortening actually added a nice subtle depth of flavor. Anyway, these totally took care of my chocolate craving!!

Yummy! I am 8 months pregnant and was craving something with chocolate and raisins...this was perfect. I didn't drop them into individual candies, but spread the mixture into a round cake pan. Thanks for the great recipe!
