Candy Crunch

[Shoelace]

Sometimes I miss candy bars with the soft filling and the kinda crunchy chocolate coating.  These aren't exactly candy bars because the chocolate coating is only on top, but this 2-layer candy is yummy.

Candy Crunch (16 servings)

Bottom Layer
8 oz. cream cheese, room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cocoa
FTS ZERO to taste
1/2 cup chopped nuts of choice

Use a fork to cream together all but the nuts.  Stir in the nuts and freeze 5 minutes.  Shape into a 6 inch square on parchment paper.

Top Layer
2 squares (2 oz.) Baker's unsweetened chocolate, melted
FTS ZERO to taste

Stir the Zero into the chocolate and spread over the bottom layer.  Use a sharp knife to cut into 16 squares.  Freeze 10 minutes, then use a kitchen knife to scrape each square up, and place on a plate.  Cover and keep refrigerated.

Hi there,

Just a quick question about Shoelace.  You have some great recipes here but you only show as a guest.

Are you a member here?  The reason I ask is that I like to click on a member and check their posts - but cannot do that with your posts.

I also recall you were on another forum and had been writing a recipe book.

Did you ever complete that project?

Hey, this candy crunch sounds delish... I will download the recipe and make in the very near future.
