"I've been making this recipe since the 70's. It's incredibly easy with fantastic results. They're good enough to give away as gifts and include in your Christmas tray. The recipe is also very forgiving. You don't need to follow the ingredient quantities to the letter. You'll still have a fantastic candy. Use good quality chocolate chips for the best results. Toll House brand works well."
