"Mama Ruths" (like Baby Ruth candy bars)


Ingredients

1 bag (10 oz) GFCF Choco Chips (Sunspire or Enjoy Life)
1/2 bag of marshmallows (health food stores have better quality marshmallows) or homemade marshmallow
1/2 cup organic peanut butter (or other nut butter)
2 tsp virgin coconut oil (optional)
1 cup organic roasted peanuts

Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper

Melt 1/2 the bag of chocolate chips and stir in 1 tsp coconut oil. Heat slowly.

Using a spoon, dollop chocolate onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet  and spread the chocolate out with the back of the spoon to make mini candy bar size bases. Cover with peanuts quickly before chocolate hardens.

Melt the marshmallows and the peanut butter and 1 tsp coconut oil together in a pot over simmering water or in the microwave. Let cool til able to handle and is like play dough consistency.

Shape a pattie of marshmallow/ peabut mixture and place on top of each chocolate dollop with peanuts.

Melt the other half of a bag of choco chips, heat slowly, and put in 1 tsp of coconut oil and cover the top of the candy bar. Let harden and enjoy!

Temper the chocolate and it won't turn white in a few days (bloom), bloom is not dangerous  to eat just looks ugly and chocolate tastes dry. Usually these go fast so don't worry...
