1 cup salted peanuts
1 cup halved pretzel sticks
1/2 cup MOUNDS Sweetened Coconut Flakes (optional)

1 teaspoon vegetable shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil)
Paper candy cups (optional)

1. Line 9-inch square pan with plastic wrap.

3. Immediately add toffee bits, peanuts, pretzels and coconut, if desired; stir to coat.
4. Spread mixture into prepared pan; cover with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate 45 minutes or until firm.
5. Place white chips and shortening in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at HIGH an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred.
6. Using fork, drizzle white chips mixture over chocolate mixture in pan. Cover; refrigerate 5 minutes or until firm.
7. Bring to room temperature. Remove chocolate mixture from pan and place on cutting board, top side up; discard plastic wrap.
8. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares. Place each square in a candy cup, if desired. Store in covered container in a cool place.

Makes about 3 dozen squares.
