Easy Chocolate Candies

"I took this recipe from TLC's "Take Home Chef" show and website and omitted the almonds because I'm not a big fan. These are easy and tasty, but making them does involve a bit of a mess (although that's part of the fun, isn't it?)"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a first year law student, and cooking provides me a way to relax and do something completely different from what I do all day. I took cooking classes in high school, and learned to cook a little bit at home, but since I didn't have to feed myself, I mainly just baked cookies and brownies and other fun things. Now, being in charge of cooking for a household for the first time in my life, I'm rediscovering my love of cooking and really enjoy trying new recipes as well as cooking my Mommy's signature dishes.
