Don’t forget to add some homemade peanut brittle, old fashioned divinity, and homemade toffee to your gift trays!
Rocky Road Peanut Clusters
Ingredients:
1 (11-oz) pkg chocolate chips
1 (11-oz) pkg butterscotch chips
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 c peanuts
3 c mini marshmallows
Place the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and vegetable oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Repeat at 30 second intervals until chips have melted. I run my microwave on 70% power to do this. You will find that the normal 100% power is a little too much and may scorch the chocolate.
In a large mixing bowl stir together melted chocolate, peanuts, and marshmallows.
Spoon mixture onto waxed paper and let set until chocolate hardens. Store candies in an airtight container.
Makes about 3 dozen candies.
