Chocolate Options

If I am making this recipe around the Holidays, I use melting chocolate and my favorite is Ambrosia. However, if I make this at another time throughout the year, melting chocolate chips works too.

Butter Toffee Peanuts

While you can make butter toffee peanuts, it is one step that I decided to leave up to someone else. I like to purchase one can of them and make one batch for the Holidays. They are a nice filler for candy trays and by using butter toffee peanuts already made, just saves me time. Someday, I might try and tackle making this on my own as it is just sugar, water, and butter. It is probably easier than what I think.

Cookie Scoop Used for Candy

I have a number of cookie scoops for a variety of recipes. There is a 1 – inch scoop that I use for all of my chocolate candies, however; it is really hard to find in my local stores. Here is a nice 1 – inch cookie scoop that works nicely for making chocolate candies.

Chocolate Candy Options

The butter toffee peanuts can be swapped out in this recipe, or you can add to the recipe. Here are some options to think about. Just make sure that there is enough chocolate to decently cover whatever it is you add.

  • Raisins
  • Dried Cranberries

Chocolate Options
