CHOCOLATE TIDBITS

Chocolate Tidbits image

Chocolaty, oaty, coconut fun. My kids eat them faster than I can get them out of the pot given the chance. I grew up eating these, my grandmother made them like a ritual, my husbands mother made them... Apparently the recipe came originally from a school penny sale cookbook...
