Marbled Peanut Clusters
Ingredients
-
1
12 ounce package (2 cups) semisweet chocolate pieces
-
1 1/2
cups peanuts
-
1
ounce vanilla-flavor candy coating
-
1
ounce green candy coating (optional)
Directions
1. Heat semisweet chocolate pieces in a heavy medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly just until melted. Stir in peanuts. Spoon by rounded teaspoons onto a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet.
2. Heat vanilla-flavor candy coating in a heavy small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly just until melted. If using, heat green candy coating in a similar manner. Drizzle a small amount of each candy coating atop each cluster, swirl gently with a toothpick to create a marbled effect.
3. Chill candy about 30 minutes or until firm. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Makes about 24 pieces.

12/8/2011 06:40:34 AM Report AbuseI made two separate batches, one with peanuts and one with raisins. Both were delicious and easy to make. I think this year for Christmas, I will also make two batches, but substitute dried cranberries in place of the raisin batch and see how they are accepted.
