Chocolate Butterscotch Peanut Clusters Recipe 455

Steps:

• 1. In a double boiler, melt the butterscotch and milk chocolate chips together. Stir until the mixture is nice and smooth. Add the peanuts and stir. 2. Immediately drop little blobs of the clusters onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper- using a spoon or a cookie scooper. Let them sit until the chocolate is set.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan over low heat, cook and stir candy coating and chips until melted and smooth. Cool for 10 minutes; stir in peanuts., Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter chips in top of double boiler. Stir frequently over low to medium heat until melted; add peanuts and stir.
• Drop by teaspoon full on wax paper. Allow to cool.

Steps:

• Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with wax paper.
• Melt the bags of chips in a saucepan over medium heat, adding the Spanish peanuts once the mixture has melted.
• Stir the peanuts and coat completely.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the wax paper.
• Refrigerate until solid, at least two hours.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare cookie sheet by placing a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper or candy cups on cookie sheet. Set aside until ready to use.
• 2. In Double Boiler add water to bottom pan and heat (do not boil) making sure water level does not touch top pan and steam does not enter the top pan. Add chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and parafin wax. Watch carefully and stir often. When all is melted and stirred together; add as many peanuts as you can; stirring to make sure all have a good cover of chocolate.
• 3. Remove top pan from heat being careful not to let any steam enter the pan with the chocolate. I like to set the pan on a dry dish towel to sop up water on bottom of pan. With spoon (Ilike using an ice teaspoon, because the spoon is small and the handle is long) scoop a spoonful of peanuts, (don't overfill if using candy cups) scraping the bottom of spoon on edge of pan. Drop peanuts and chocolate into a pile on the wax paper, parchment on into the candy cups. If chocolate starts to get thick before finished dropping, just put the pan back onto double boiler and warm back up. When all peanuts are dropped you may have chocolate left in the pan, just warm back up and add more peanuts and repeat dropping until all is used up. Set in cool place to set chocolate.
• 4. Notes: Store in airtight container with waxed paper between layers in cool place. Can also be stored in refrigerator or frozen until needed. Wrap well. If stored in fridge or freezer, set container on counter without removing any wrapping or lid until at room temperature before serving or packing in candy boxes.
