This is the candy I remember as a kid growing up in the Fox River Valley of Wisconsin. Be sure to use dark chocolate and salted peanuts! These are really fantastic! Thanks for posting this recipe!

I love these candies, I too grew up with them living in the Fox valley. I sell them here in Texas this time of year. They are a lot of work but well worth it.

My grandmother -- who also lived in Appleton her whole life -- made these Fried Oysters every Christmas. She made two versions, vanilla and chocolate. I loved them both. Does anyone know the difference between the two recipes?

I also grew up in the fox valley in Wisconsin and love these. Wilmar candies in Appleton makes them and you can get them shipped anywhere.
