CHOCOLATE TOFEE CRUNCH SQUARES

Category: Candy

2 (12 oz) pkg milk chocolate chips
1 cup crushed toffee pieces
1 cup salted peanuts and halved pretzel sticks
1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes and chocolate chips
1 tsp shortening, do not use butter
Paper candy cups

Line a 9 inch square pan with plastic wrap. Melt chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Immediately add next 4 ingredients; stir to coat. Spread mixture into prepared pan; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 45 minutes or until firm.

Melt white chips and shortening, stirring until smooth. Using a fork, drizzle white chips mixture over chocolate mixture in pan. Cover; refrigerate 5 minutes or until firm. Bring to room temperature.

Remove chocolate mixture from pan and place on cutting board, top side up; discard plastic wrap. Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. Place each square in a candy cup, if desired. Store in covered container in a cool place.

Variation: CHOCOLATE TOFEE HAYSTACKS: Prepare chocolate mixture as above. Instead of spreading in square pan, drop mixture by slightly heaping tbsp on wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until firm. Melt white chips as above and drizzle over haystacks.
