These candies were good -- pretty easy and simple to make. These would actually be a fun project to do with kids because of the simplicity of them. What's especially nice about this is that you can make as many or as few as you like -- good when you want a bit of sweet, but don't want piles of sweets sitting on your countertop yelling at you lol. think my turtles could have used a bit more chocolate, but it's probably just due to the size of the squares I was using (I used some milk chocolate bars that I bought at Ikea). Thanks for posting! :) Made for PAC Spring 08

I live on the West Coast of Canada with my husband and 3 young sons. I am an at home mom so I am always looking for new ideas to entertain my kids and myself. I love to cook and bake, I also love needle work (ie. cross stitch and crochet).
