Before getting married, I worked as a third grade paraprofessional. My first year was wonderful. The teachers used me as an under teacher, working with different students and using my strengths to help the classes. Since I am right handed, I learned to write on a chalk board and I taught cursive that year.
Since I interacted with the students so much, they spoiled me often. At Christmas, Brianna brought me a batch of this candy. I liked it so much, I requested a recipe. I have made this recipe almost every year since. Now Andrea makes this recipe also.
We enjoy learning new recipes every winter. Adrian decided that marshmallows sounded good to try this year. He attempted them himself and discovered they were a lot easier to make than he thought.
We used mini chocolate chips, but most of them melted. The next time we make these, we plan to omit the chocolate chips, but cut the squares larger and dunk them in the chocolate.
These taste great alone, but are also wonderful in hot chocolate!
Andrea loves Saltine crackers. She was very happy to discover this easy candy recipe that uses the crackers to add a nice crunch.
These double easily, but Andrea recommends not making more than you want for the day because they are very addictive and you will easily eat more than you plan.
