Kids gobble up these fun sweet treats. So make some more, as the recipe is easy to double!

 

Makes about 20 clusters

 

Ingredients:

1 cup milk chocolate morsels

1 tablespoon peanut butter

2 cups chow mein noodles

1/4 cup cocktail peanuts

 

Instructions:

1. Line baking sheet with wax paper; set aside. Place chocolate morsels and peanut butter in 2-quart microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH, 1-1/2 – 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or until chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in chow mein noodles and peanuts, mixing until coated.
2. Using a tablespoon, drop chocolate mixture onto wax paper. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chocolate hardens and clusters become firm. Remove from refrigerator; store at room temperature in airtight container.

 

Timing Tip

When melting chocolate in the microwave, always stir every 30 seconds to prevent chocolate from overheating or burning along the edges. Chocolate morsels usually hold their shape when melted.

 

Cookware Tip

Make certain that all utensils and the bowl are completely dry and free of any water droplets. Water can cause the melted chocolate to “seize” and become gritty or hardened.
