Take 2 cups (12 oz of bits) and place in a large microwaveable bowl
with 1 tbsp water and 1/4 cup Karo syrup.

Zap at 30 second intervals, stirring until everything in combined and
melted.

Stir in 4 cups of any combination of the following, being sure to coat
fully - you may need larger amounts of the smaller things such as:

Dry cereal such as Rice Chex
Nuts
Raisins
Other dried fruit
Just about anything you can think of you'd like to eat coated in
chocolate.

Drop by spoonfuls onto foil covered cookie sheets. Let cool in fridge
until solidified. Stores best in the fridge, but the chocolate may
loose its shine.

Can you serve it on ice cream?
