I need a sweet treat to start the new year. These little one bite nibbles are just the thing. Those TV commercials where they take a wee bite of a piece of candy make me gag. I can put 2 or 3 in my mouth at once.
- 1⁄2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1⁄ 2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon shortening (NOT butter, margarine, spread or oil)
- 1 cup salted dry roasted peanuts
DIRECTIONS
- Place both chips and shortening in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at High 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred.
- Stir in peanuts.
- Drop by teaspoons into 1-inch diameter candy or petit four papers. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Store tightly covered in refrigerator.

Feel free to replace the peanuts with malt balls or anything else. We put in some craisins as well.
and remember: Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.
