Grandma's Peanut Clusters

The holidays bring back such great childhood memories!  Like many Americans, food is at the center of some of them!   I remember my Grandma handing out tins of Peanut Clusters.  With the weather changing my craving for these simple candies emerged. 

I bag of chocolate chips (milk chocolate is best but I had semi sweet minis so that is what I used! I like working with the minis because they melt easy)
1-2 cups salted peanuts
1 tlb butter 

Simply melt the chocolate and butter in a large glass bowl.  I do one minute, stir, 30 sec, stir, 30 sec stir until melted.

Once chocolate is creamy add peanuts.  The amount of nuts depends on your preference.  

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Drop clusters of the peanut/chocolate mixture onto the wax paper.  Refrigerate.  Once set you can take out for short periods of time but best to store in fridge so the chocolate doesn't melt.
