"Those intimidated by candy making won't be able to resist simple recipes such as old-fashioned peanut brittle and rocky road bark. There's also plenty for fans of more exotic treats, such as chai-spiced truffles." —Diablo Magazine

Full disclaimer: I haven't tried any of the recipes in here yet. But it shouldn't be too hard, because there aren't that many. Only 42 pages have anything I'd really call recipes (and of those, some are pictures--I'm lazy about counting pages); the rest of the 94-page book is instructions (good) and "recipes" for things like chocolate-dipped fruit, chocolate-dipped dried fruit, chocolate-dipped graham crackers, and barks, which all consist of "melt chocolate, stir in X, pour in a flat pan."
There are 2 recipes I'm planning to photocopy and try, but the rest of this book? Meh. I'm glad my library system had it, because it is NOT worth $17 to me.
