Freeze in a sealed container or bag for longer shelf life. Gifting Ideas: Pack in Mason jars with a ribbon and tag. Use cellophane bags, secured with ribbon.

My kids and my husband are so into this! I made it and they are raving about it. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Reply
This stuff should come with a warning. It’s addictive. So yummy and my kids loved making it with me. Reply
Super great! very excited to give this out as a valentine’s day treat. I do think that 2.5 cups of white chocolate would be just as good! A little too chocolatey for me (even though I love chocolate) Reply
This is super easy to make! If you’re at a higher altitude, you will need to increase the oil to 2 teaspoons. Other than that I didn’t have a problem. Also I used the double boiler method to melt my chocolate and that worked beautifully! Reply
8 servings in this recipe, so the entire batch divided equally into 8 parts; each part is 370 calories 🙂 (I don’t have weighed out final amounts) Reply
