Salty Peanut Chews

---

These sticky, chewy candies are positively addictive. They'll keep, covered in the refrigerator, for 1 week. they remind me of a candy i had, growing up in canada, called 'eatmores' or something like that (a long time ago). if anyone remembers the name of this candy/confection, i'd love to know it. from the lcbo magazine.
