Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Here's info for you April. My Mom used to make them. I asked her for instructions. She said it's very easy. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and drop a large handful of raisins or peanuts in and and stir to coat. Lift them out with a slotted large serving spoon and let the excess chocolate drip off. Lay them out on wax paper, separate them and let them set. Donna April <adv42084 wrote: Thanks Gayle, I wish there was an easier way than one rasin at a time! I can eat them faster than I could make them! I love pretzels too, I'll have to try your method.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks Donna! This sounds like an easy method. I knew there had to be a way to do it, I just couldn't think of one!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 You know my Mother is a horrible cook but give her the kitchen and she can create the best pasties, breads and candy. I never thought to ask her. Glad I did, I know her chocolate covered peanuts are good too. Happy to help you, Donna April <adv42084 wrote: Thanks Donna! This sounds like an easy method.
