Sounds easy to make. You can make the center using the simple condensed milk
and bittersweet chocolate fudge method. (The recipe is probably on the can,
or there are plenty of them online if you google. It's just bittersweet
chocolate melted with condensed milk and perhaps a little butter and
vanilla) Form the fudge into logs when it has thickened enough. Make rice
crispy treat stuff--the recipe's on the box--and form it around the fudge
logs. Chill and slice.
