Recipe Introduction
"Chocolate Charlie defies description. You have to taste the combination of rich milk chocolate, fresh roasted peanuts, and creamy, fluffy, homemade marshmallow! For over 80 years, this candy, produced in Indiana only from October to December, has been distributed exclusively within a 90-mile radius of the candy factory. The company, started by the man who created the recipe, is still family owned after three generations. Just slice in bite-size pieces and serve."
List of Ingredients
White bark (the bark comes in 1 1/2 pound package - so use one
whole package and 4 pieces/squares from the next package)
4 (1 ounce) squares Baker's Bittersweet chocolate
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
1 (24 ounce) container dry roasted peanuts
1 package large marshmallows
Recipe
Place first 4 ingredients in a crockpot. Put crockpot on HIGH and leave for 1 hour...don't stir!! Then turn to LOW and stir every 15 minutes for 1 hour. The mixture will be very thick!
Using a very large heavy spoon, like a restaurant size serving spoon etc., spoon 1/2 of the mixture out on wax paper and spread out. Then place the marshmallows all over on top of mixture while still very warm. Then spoon the remainder of the mixture over the top of marshmallows and chocolate mixture on the wax paper. Let set till completely cool. Overnight is best.
Break into pieces to serve.
