I make this candy every year for gifts. I also make for others to give as gifts. This is the same recipe except I use 3 cups of hershey milk chocolate chips (which is a bag and half). I dont always have access to the large bar and it gets quite expensive to by the single candy bars. I tried the bag of hershey milk choc. chips and there is no differece in flavor. Just thought I would share that little tidbit.
