Reese’s may have started the trend but here’s your own Halloween version of a fun & simple treat to make with your grandchildren – or for them! If there are no nut allergies, this is a fan favorite. Whether an afternoon snack for any age, or part of an appetizer spread for your next party, these are small enough to pop in your mouth and big enough in flavor to make a great impression.
