crispy-crunchy chocolate bars

mea culpa

i can't resist it

chocolate is so lovely

i can't resist making stuff with it

truth be told

i am sort of hoping that surrounding myself with chocolate

will perhaps make me sick of it

and then miraculously

poof

i become one of those people

who hates chocolate

and then

i become one of those people

who can't seem to keep my weight up

and then

i become one of those people

that gets stopped on the street and asked if i am a model

until then

i suppose i will just have to suffer

and so will you

again

mea culpa

hubster claims he hates caramel

unless of course

it is surrounded with bittersweet chocolate

and 

especially if it is surrounded by

crunchy, crispy chocolate

these are easy to make

if you don't have a chocolate mold

you can make these in paper cups

tart tins, candy cups,

or

you can form caramel into bars and dip in the chocolate

in the image of a popular bar found in the candy aisle

you can find a couple of good caramel recipes

and how to temper chocolate

in this post

for the crispy bits

i use tiny crisp rice

which you can purchase at a candy supply store

 (cereal can be used in a pinch)

try this

if nothing else

you can make a grand

and eat it too
