Chocolate Trivia & The Perfect Train Snack: Choo Choos

Mustn't forget about chocolate. Here's a bit of chocolate trivia - M&M's stands for the last names of Forrest Mars, Sr., the candy maker and his associate, Bruce Murrie. M&M is way easier than saying "Forrest & Bruce".

Back to this week's theme: Trains. Sometimes it's nice to have some munchies when you're on a train ride. Here's a recipe for an easy snack that travels well and is chewy. Hence, the name.
