PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CLUSTERS
Another great Kraft recipe. A nice combination of chocolate and butterscotch chips with peanut butter, peanuts, and chow mein noodles. A great candy gift for special occasions or as a hostess gift. You can use candy papers that are available at most dollar stores. Place the candy on a pretty plate (paper, plastic, or a pretty china plate from a second hand store). Line the plate with a paper doily also available at the dollar store. Cover the plate with plastic wrap, add a bow and voila! Or use the candy papers and a pretty box from the dollar store. I think raisins would be a great addition or substitution for the peanuts if you like. I used a heavy-bottom pot over low heat to melt the ingredients instead of the microwave oven.

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.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT CLUSTERS
Steps:
- Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not simmering, water, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula to ensure even melting. Remove the double boiler from the heat, remove the top pan containing the chocolate, wipe it dry, and set aside briefly. Replace the water in the bottom pan with lukewarm tap water, set the pan of chocolate on top of this, and stir gently to reduce the temperature of the chocolate (10 to 15 minutes). It will begin to get a bit thicker as it cools. If using a thermometer, it should register 95°F.
- Again remove the top pan of chocolate from the water and replace the water in the bottom pan with tap water that is a few degrees warmer than the chocolate. If using the same thermometer to check the temperature of the chocolate and the water, be sure to dry it completely so no water mixes with the chocolate. Set the pan of chocolate over the pan of warm water. The warm water will hold the chocolate at the correct temperature so that it does not cool too fast.
- Stir the peanuts into the chocolate, making sure to thoroughly coat them with chocolate.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Spoon out clusters 1 inch in diameter onto the sheet, leaving 1 inch of space between them. Let the clusters set up at room temperature, or chill them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, then place them in paper candy cups. In a tightly covered container wrapped in several layers of aluminum foil, the clusters will keep for 1 month in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer. The clusters are best served at room temperature.

- Substitute milk chocolate for the bittersweet chocolate.
