Only three simple ingredients and these peanut clusters will be adorning YOUR holiday trays this year!
Every year my God-Mother, my Aunt Janette, makes these for me for Christmas.
I bake and bake and bake all season long, and mostly,
once I look at stuff for so long it’s not even appealing to me!
But NOT THESE!!
I can’t leave them alone, and the only thing that makes them better is to eat them out of the freezer!!
I made my own this year to share with friends and family,
and thought I would share them with YOU!!

These look yummy. Where do you buy the squares of chocolate almond bark? Looking forward to receiving your recipes.
Michaela Kenkel says
Hi, Carol! They are in the baking aisle, typically by the chocolate chips. I hope you enjoy them like we do!

I remember having these in school. But they also had raisins in them. How mush raisins would you use in this recipe Peanut clusters?
Michaela Kenkel says
I have never heard of using raisins? That’s new to me. Have you ever tried to google the recipe?
Barbara Connor says
My grandmother would make these for all the grandchildren as a special treat – she added chow mein noodles for address crunch! I’m 65 and she’s been gone since I was in my late twenties….there are many variations – and some are better than others!

Where can I find salted blanched peanuts
Michaela Kenkel says
I always find them at the grocery store. I have also used the salted roasted!
Rose Whitton says
I have looked at the grocery and Walmart and neither one had them. Are they in the baking isle
