**NOTES: This recipe can also be made with crushed pretzels or layered pretzel thins, but the toffee is much harder to spread over the pretzels. Also, if you desire a thinner chocolate layer, the chocolate chips can be reduced by about a cup and the peanut butter reduced by 2 tbsp.***
It really doesn’t matter what kind of chocolate you use. I have used many different kinds.
Put in airtight container and keep in the fridge. Each batch makes about 4 dozen balls.

Ever wonder how a Blog works? Why pages do what they do? How do they get reimbursed for their work? Here are some answers to some common questions.
How many hours does a Coupon/Deal Blogger work?
I can not speak for everyone, but I know I myself average 10 to 16 hours a day. Often seven days a week. This time is not all spent blogging, most of it is interacting and maintaining our Social Media Pages, finding coupons, and doing store/sales Match Ups.
How does the Owner of the sites make an income/monetize?
When our fans print coupons, grab freebies, shop, etc. through our links/blogs, we get reimbursed by SOME of the companies. Coupons.com, Redplum, etc. This in turn helps cover the cost of our domain, hosting, giveaways on our sites, etc.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to go right to the MAIN coupons sites? Like Coupons.com, Redplum, etc?
It would take a few seconds less, but, PLEASE support your Favorite Coupon Pages! It is what keeps us doing what we do and investing the time we do invest. When you go directly to a coupon page, you are eliminating the middle man (Coupon bloggers) who spend a lot of blood, sweat, and tears trying to make your shopping purchases the best they can be! Supporting through our links is saying a little ” THANK YOU I appreciate what you do and would like you to stick around” to the blogger who’s sites you most often frequent.
Are all FREEBIES, Programs, offers, legit?
I would LOVE to say yes, but lets face it, when it comes to some bloggers, if they will make money on it, they will post it and say WOW, AMAZING, I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS without even looking the offer over first. Just make sure your favorite pages have your best interests and not money in mind. Over time you will learn by what they all promote which are the good and which are the bad. SOME of the busiest pages I have seen posting some very questionable offers without giving all the details just to make a quick buck off their fans. Let me add, EVEN THE BEST pages out there can make a mistake. We try and check things out the best we can, but some do slip through.
Are all Coupons, Freebies, Online Deals, etc. able to be monetized?
No, on average about 50% of them usually are. You will find some sites that will ONLY BLOG deals, coupons, etc. that they can profit from, but if you have found an honest blogger who puts your interests first, IT WILL NOT MATTER, they will share it with you if it is a hot deal! A PERFECT example is a month or so back a HOT COUPON for Folgers Coffee came out…Through OUR links we could NOT monetize it, but it did take you to one of the most popular coupon pages. Yes, sending my fans directly do the page in my blog post meant I would lose some profit, but the benefits of my fans getting this RARE coupon far out weighed the couple of dollars I was going to make. I kept a watchful eye to see what pages posted this and which ones did not, and I would say it went 50/50.
DRAMA FREE ZONE! How come some pages are more Drama then anything?
Unfortunately, It is a Dog Eat Dog World out there when it comes to deal bloggers, and sometimes it gets brought to the Social Media Pages. (Fans only see about 10% of behind the scenes) It can get VERY UGLY. It is a disappointment, but so many bloggers are turning it into “Whats in it for me?” Instead of focusing on making their blogs and their interactions with their fans the main priority. There are A LOT of “Secret Blogger” Groups out there, which instead of helping each other, they try and bring each other down. MIND YOU, NOT ALL!! I keep to myself, and I have still made some AMAZING friendships out there, and we help each other, not try and destroy the others page. I have even had some people going after my page because of my success. I have tried using the “Ignore it and it will go away” method, which sometimes works and sometimes does not.
(Facebook) Why if it is a Facebook Coupon, do we go from your Facebook page, then to your blog, then back to the Facebook companie’s page? Wouldn’t it just be easier to go right to the companies page and eliminate the blog?
We blog our Facebook coupons (which by the way we can not monetize) through our blog for our fans that only visit our blog, that do not get our Facebook feeds. This way they know about them also.
(Facebook) How come SO MANY pages are doing giveaways where you have to like twenty plus other pages in order to enter?
The concept to this, though to me it does not make a lot of sense, is that the more fans, the more money they will make. The majority of the people that enter the giveaways, unlike or hide a page right after entering. I PERSONALLY do not get involved in these giveaways very often. Reason being, I do not want my fans to deal with the hassle, and I would take 1 loyal fan over 100 fans who liked my Facebook page just to enter a contest which chances are they will not win. (That being said though, I have been involved in a few of them) If a page does these a lot, chances are blogging is all about “What’s in it for me?” to them. They want more fans, which means they want more exposure and to reach more people and are looking at $$ DOLLAR SIGNS $$ not your best interest.
Let me start off by saying, this is MY PERSONAL opinion. Just a thought, something that made me go……… Hmmmmmmmm last night!
As I was laying in bed, the entire day and commotion with the “Walmart Glitch” replaying in my head, It started to make me wonder.
Last year, about this same time (the holidays) you all may remember the Vacuum “Glitch” that occurred. 
Many rushed to their website, ordered it, and some even got both vacuums for right around $20 (If you went and picked them up right away with in store option) but the majority of us got reimbursed and a $10 Wal Mart Gift Card.
Now this year, right around the same time, their website has a “Glitch” Thousands and THOUSANDS of fans get amazing prices on products, It even made NATIONAL News (Some GREAT advertisement for their store and website if you ask me) I can only imagine what their views on their website were like yesterday! IN the end, a select few who were fast enough to get there and do the in store pick up option, do get the items they purchased at a STEAL…. BUT the Majority again get a “We goofed, SORRY, here is a $10 Gift Card Email!”
Coincidence both of these happened at the same time of year? THE HOTTEST time of year for Holiday Shopping? Possibly?!? What I do know, is all those Gift Cards they are giving out is going to mean more Holiday Shoppers shopping in their store and on their website!
Just something to think about 🙂

This Scam can be done ANYWHERE at any Retail Store! SO BEWARE AND WATCH THOSE RECEIPTS!
Look at the receipt below, where it says “Debit Cash Back” Your cashier can do this, without you even noticing, and pocket the $40 or whatever amount they decide. Always check your receipts before walking away from the register!
Unfortunately this is becoming more and more common, and so many people do not check their receipt or bank statements regularly, so millions of dollars are being stolen from customers without us even realizing.
From a PA resident, and the situation that occured with her:
It happened at a Wal-Mart Supercenter a month ago. I bought a bunch of stuff, over $150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of $40. I told her I didn't request a cash back & to delete it. She said I'd have to take the $40 because she couldn't delete it. I told her to call a supervisor. Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it! I said NO! Taking the $40 would be a cash advance against my Discover & I wasn't paying interest on the cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order. So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & rescan everything! The second time I looked at the electronic tab before I signed & a cash-back of $20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came out right. the cashier agreed that the electronic pad must be defective. (yeah, right!) Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad wasn't defective because she NEVER offered me the $40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed? Just to alert everyone. My coworker went to Milford , DE Wal-Mart last week. She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My coworker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for $20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK! My coworker called Wal-Mart who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her This is a new scam. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in line. Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards! This is NOT limited to Wal-Mart, although they are the largest retailer so they have the most incidents. I am adding to this…. My husband and I were in Wal-Mart North Salisbury and paying with a credit card. When my husband went to sign the credit card signer, he just happened to notice there was a $20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she canceled it. We didn't think anything of it until we read this email. I wonder how many “seniors” have been, or will be, “stung” by this one????
