CHEWY PEANUT CLUSTERS



Chewy Peanut Clusters image

I was about 9 years old riding with my mom in our old blue 70's Chevy station wagon when this recipie came on the radio. My mom, trying to keep her eyes on the road, reached for her purse and asked me to look for a pen and piece of paper and wright it down. Since then it's been my Christmas staple that everyone looks forward to. They're perfect for any holiday or any event and especially bake sales. They are sooo easy and you'll be jelously asked for the recipie. Be warned - they are addicting!!!!

Time 30m

Yield 24-36 clusters or squares, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup margarine
1 (10 ounce) bag marshmallows
1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups salted peanuts

Steps:

  • The trick to these is to keep the heat low - that will make them soft and chewy. If the heat gets high they seem to come out more hardend but still mostly chewy. I've forgotton the vanilla at times and they still turn out tasting great. I have also used milk chocolate chips.
  • Melt butter over low heat in a large pan or skillet.
  • Add marshmellows, melting, stirring constantly, keeping heat on low.
  • When melted add choc chips stirring until melted.
  • Add vanilla, stirring, and then the peanuts, folding in and stirring until peanuts are covered (when chocolate mixture is sticking to most of the peanuts).
  • Remove from heat and quickly drop by spoonfuls onto greased parchment paper or parchment lined and greased 9 x 13 pan (to cut into squares). NOTE: wax paper will not work, they will stick to it even when greased.
  • Let cool on counter.
  • Store in tightly covered containers (with parchment in between layers) or Ziploc baggies.
  • Then repeat all above. (I usually have to make 3 batches!).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the corn syrup is at room temperature before you use it. This will help it to mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the mixture. The peanuts should be coated in the syrup, but they should still be slightly soft.
  • Work quickly when forming the clusters. The mixture will start to set quickly, so it's important to work quickly before it becomes too difficult to handle.
  • If you want to make larger clusters, simply use a larger spoon or scoop.
  • Store the clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chewy peanut clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With a little bit of time and effort, you can create a batch of chewy peanut clusters that will be enjoyed by everyone who tries them.
