These are so simple and delicious; great as an addition to a cookie or candy tray. Plus anyone from the country will enjoy their name!
2 cups (12 oz) MILK CHOCOLATE chips
2 teas Crisco
1 cup raisins
2/3 cup slightly toasted slivered almonds (I like salted ones and chopped pecans would be great too)
Melt chips and Crisco in double boiler or heatproof bowl over pot of simmering water. Remove from heat.
Add raisins and nuts and mix well. Drop by level tablespoons onto wax paper. Chill in fridge until hardened. I keep them in the fridge until an hour or so before serving but they are fine at room temp. too.
