Yield: about 1 1/2 pounds candy
Ingredients
- 1 pound white chocolate, semisweet chocolate, or milk chocolate

- Line a large jellyroll pan with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
- Melt the chocolate in a large heavy saucepan over very low heat or in a microwave, stirring frequently until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly on the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the candy evenly over the chocolate and press the candy into the chocolate to make sure it will not fall out later.
