COMMENTS: Tried a small bite of this at the post-Christmas 1999 road trip to Burlington and found it delicious. I would probably make this for a special event or as special treat for Dave as it is very sweet.

Take your favorite chocolate chip bar recipe, add the holiday chip colors available or get the mini m&m and pick out red/green ones to add.
Make substititions with any of your favorites in a similar manner.

Do a google search for "Martha Washington Candy". My mother made these and gave them out in shirt boxes wrapped in Christmas paper. The recipes make quite a lot. Note: She skipped the chocolate dipping- I could not get enough of these!
