Chocolate Covered Swedish Fish

By attosa

Chocolate Covered Swedish Fish with sprinklesI had a big love for chocolate covered gummy bears until I realized that the chocolate would instantly melt off once in your mouth, quickly turning the treat into plain old gummy bears with a flash of chocolate. Because Swedish fish are a bit firmer and you can easily bite into them, the chocolate to gummy ratio is consistent and makes for an awesome sweet snack. I one-upped them by using some of the reds and whites from my Christmas sprinkles to decorate them. It also gives them a nice texture!

By littergitter

Just a few days ago, I saw the 10-16-2017 comment and I responded to it with my gratitude.
