The Rosiethon. Is It Day 4 Already? It's Rosie's Version Of Mounds Bars.

 I'm making my version of Mounds Bars today.

These are irresistible.

I found a copy cat recipe for mounds bars

that called for half a bar of paraffin;

however, eating hydrocarbons is not appealing to me.

Paraffin contains the following chemicals:

acrolein, benzene, ethanol, formaldehyde,

dibutyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, toluene,

styrene, benzene, ethyl benzene, napthalene,

benzaldehyde, didecyl phthalate, and acetone.

I know! I know!

What's not to love?

 

So, instead of using paraffin,

I'm substituting honeycomb from

Mr. Hawthorne's coveted sourwood honey.

 Rosie's Mounds Bars

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 large pkg, coconut

3 bars German sweet chocolate

big chunk of honeycomb (3/4 - 1 cup)

Mix coconut and milk well.  Chill, then form into bars or balls.  Chill for several hours.

Melt chocolate and honeycomb in top of double boiler over medium heat.  Stir.  Quickly dip balls or bars in chocolate to coat.  Refrigerate to cool and set chocolate.

Mix the coconut and condensed milk well.

Chill, then form into balls.

Add honeycomb to chocolate

in top of double boiler.

Stir to mix combine.

Using two spoons,

quickly roll the balls up the side of the bowl to  coat.

The addition of honey flavor

is icing on the cake.
