I substituted 2 bags of Guirradelli milk chocolate plus two tsp shortening for the candy coating, melting it carefully @ 50%. I used only half each of the toffee and peanuts and it was perfect! Using full amounts would've been too chunky.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"12\/09\/2012 07:39","GUID":"5f8af07321394c7cb9f70da6b0a8032a","MemberId":2709500,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"vickyc603","SubmittedDate":"12\/09\/2012 07:38"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"05\/03\/2012 14:46","GUID":"28fe4dbe1de940b48795bbdb535835e0","MemberId":2011212,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ToniHudson","SubmittedDate":"05\/03\/2012 14:46"},{"Comment":"

I don't care for the sweetness of the toffee bits. Very, very sweet! Super fast and easy to make. I'm brainstorming about what else to try with the peanuts and chocolate? ? ? marshmallows? raisins? caramel bits? pretzels? craisins? I'll play with this.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"12\/04\/2011 17:06","GUID":"475a65008e2a4230a0312eafeeb2f5d7","MemberId":1073547,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"cherrylady","SubmittedDate":"12\/04\/2011 17:06"},{"Comment":"
I wasn't expecting much with only 3 ingredients, but was wrong. We devoured these in no time.

Delicious and so easy!! I used milk chocolate chips with a little shortening, since I didn't have the milk chocolate candy coating. Turned out great!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"12\/28\/2010 13:19","GUID":"2592acf0e3094266abeff9b5fc8e1306","MemberId":2397453,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sherrilynnhildebrand","SubmittedDate":"12\/28\/2010 13:19"},{"Comment":"
