Peanut Clusters

Peanuts covered in chocolate, oh, yes!  I always make these around Christmas time, as well as other times of the year--so good and easy :)  I've made these with varying amounts of ingredients; these are the amounts I think work best (can be scaled down).  This recipe is one that my wonderful mother always made, gave to me :)

Ingredients:

18 oz./3 c. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
10 oz./6 'blocks' almond bark
16 oz. salted cocktail peanuts

Instructions:

1. Place large pieces of wax paper or parchment on countertop (these need to be ready for the clusters to 'set' on).

2. In a large pan, melt almond bark over medium-low heat, stirring often.

3. When almond bark is nearly all melted, add chocolate and continue stirring often until all melted and smooth.

4. Remove from heat, then stir in peanuts.

5. Spoon clusters onto wax paper sheets on counter; size will determine how long it takes for them to 'set' (I typically wait at least an hour).

6. Remove by peeling back wax paper from underneath.  Enjoy!
