Jan's Notes:

This candy is delicious and no one can eat just one piece! It is very addicting! I "adopted" the name "Chocolate Thingies" because a very dear friend of mine called them that. She passed a few years ago of lung cancer. Every time I make them, I now think of her and the sweet times we had eating them under the shade tree on her front lawn. Enjoy!

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Sweet and salty to the max! Easy and delicious... perfect recipe for getting the kids in on the fun.

Directions

In microwave-safe bowl, heat chips on high for 2 min. or until melted, stirring once.

Stir in potato sticks and peanuts.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper-lined baking sheets. Chill in refrigerator until set, about 15 min. Store in airtight containers.

Delicious! I made them today for my sorority's philanthropy even and they're a knock out! I made a batch with shredded coconut sprinkled on top which was an awesome addition (in my humble opinion ;) ) Great recipe, thanks for sharing!
