Peanut Clusters

This is my extended family's favorite candy. It's also the easiest!

Peanut Clusters

12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 oz of almond bark
1 jar dry roasted peanuts (salted)

Coarsely chop almond bark so that it will melt evenly with chocolate chips. Microwave chips and almond bark together, stirring frequently until melted. Add peanuts. Drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper.

Peppermint Bark

The kids and I whipped this out this afternoon. One of many batches to be made this holiday season.

1 bag of white chocolate chips
6 candy canes, crushed plus more for topping
peppermint flavoring, optional
1/2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional

Melt white chocolate chips according to package directions. Once melted, add crushed candy canes and pepperming flavoring to your liking. Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper spread with a spatula to about a quarter inch thick. Sprinkle with the extra crushed candy canes. If desired, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in microwave and drizzle on top.
