- Prepare the caramel mou: Place the corn syrup, sugar and just enough water to melt the sugar into a saucepan and place on high heat. Cook until the sugar is very dark brown and begins to burn.

- Place the butter and cocoa butter in a large heat-proof mixing bowl.
- Prepare the caramel: Place the sugar, corn syrup, Caramel Mou, cream, vanilla bean, butter, salt, and lemon juice in a saucepan placed over high heat. Insert a candy thermometer and cook to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C). Remove from the heat and pour over the butter and cocoa butter. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon the caramel over the nuts to make the clusters.
- Place the bittersweet chocolate in a paper cornet or small piping bag and drizzle chocolate over the nut cluster. Serve.

Steps:
- Melt chocolate; cool slightly. Add peanuts and raisins and mix well. Drop mixture by spoonful onto baking sheets covered with wax paper. Chill until set. Makes 3/4 pound.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the clusters will taste. This means using real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh peanuts and raisins.
- Measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the clusters tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the batter before shaping it. This will help the clusters hold their shape better when they're baking.
- Bake the clusters until they're golden brown. This will ensure that they're cooked through and have a nice, crispy exterior.
- Let the clusters cool completely before storing them. This will help them set and firm up.
- Store the clusters in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Peanut and Raisin Clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of these tasty treats that everyone will love.
