Chocolate Peanut Clusters

When we go home to visit, my husband and I will often stay with our very dear friend, Kathie. One year when we went for Christmas she made these delicious peanut clusters for our holiday celebration. The three of us gobbled them up! This recipe is easy, with only three ingredients, and perfect for a snack or dessert, and it's kid-friendly. Blessings...

Recipe:

1 can (16 oz.) cocktail peanuts
1 pkg. (10 oz.) Reese's Peanut Butter baking chips
1 pkg. (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips

1. Melt Reese's chips and chocolate chips together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
2. Stir in peanuts.
3. Using a soup spoon, drop mixture onto wax paper lined cookie sheets. Let set until firm. Store in a tightly covered container.

Note: We also enjoy the clusters made with 1 cup of dark chocolate chips (60% cocoa) and 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips. The candy is not quite as sweet and the chocolate flavor is stronger. Using the dark chocolate increases the fiber to 2 gms. each.
