I figured out that there are
363 calories per serving, if 16 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie
counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to
use.)
I just melted the white almond in a bowl over a pot |

This
is a very quick wonderful recipe. I love sweet and salty and this recipe just
hit the spot with me. I also love
that you can change it for any holiday by changing the color of what goes on
top. The delightful thing for me is the plethora of choices for toppings. This
time I used: thin stick pretzels, Reese’s pieces, chopped mini Oreos, chopped
pistachios and mini chocolate chips. Next time I will be sure to add in salted
peanuts because a little more salt would make it perfect. I took a large container
to school, and arrived home with it completely emptied. Another phenomenal recipe
