I absolutely love these. They were so simple to make. I didn't have any raisins though so I doubled up on the nuts ( which by the way I used Honey Roasted Peanuts). That's all I had handy... but ya know they came out great. They tasted awesome!!!! I would defnitely make these again and again!!!! A+ to the person that submitted this recipe :[]
These turned out really well and couldn't be any easier to make. The chocolate didn't pool on the bottom which happens to me a lot with this type of candy. They look very professional and pretty. And taste great! The only problem is that they melt awfully fast in your hand. I'm sure a more experienced candy maker would know how to resolve that.
I have made these with craisins dried blueberries and chopped dried cherries. Have never been disappointed!
This was SO easy to make! I needed something fast and easy for a potluck party. I followed the directions exactly except I only had walnuts. So with walnuts, raisins, it was GREAT. I used the Barefoot Contessa's trick and added 1 teaspoon of instant coffee to brighten the chocolate flavor...this was amazing. I almost didn't want to share! Thanks for the GREAT recipe!
A wonderful homemade treat for chocoholics. These are really yummy Noel. But why save them for Christmas. To a chocoholic these would be good annyyytiiimmmeee! Thanks for sharing.
These are great and very simple. My husband was wary of them but I was curious so I went ahead and tried it. He loves them! I had to use honey roasted peanuts since that is all I had and they actually worked. I did not chop the peanuts and some parts of the treat are hard to bite into so if you have the time or are making them for a party I would go ahead and break them down just a little for ease. But for us it was fine.
A great quick simple dessert that everybody loves.
This recipe is wonderful easy and fast to make. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins and they were delicious. The name however could use some work. My brother and I decided that we didn't want to tell people that they were called "cow pies" thus draw up such an image in their heads. Instead we called them "Bonzai". Much more appetizing.
These were easy (especially since I microwaved my chocolate to melt it instead of breaking out the steamy double-boiler) and tasty. I used pretzels and cheerios in place of the almonds. Next time would probably add more raisins but overall yummy enough to make again!
we found these just too sweet with the milk chocolate - and i even added more raisins and almonds. easy to make though.
