I got this recipe in an unexpected spot; at the hospital here in Houston Texas. My daughter was inpatient on the Bone Marrow Transplant floor (she has had a bone marrow and a stem cell transplant). She was inpatient for the shingles at the time. On the day she was finally being discharged to go home, some of the previous bone marrow families were having a gathering celebrating life and the loved ones they have lost and some really great food. I headed up there for some much needed homecooked food (you don't get that in the hospital after 7 days). I tried these amazing Chocolate Heath Peanut Clusters and fell in love. They were so different from the normal peanut clusters. The mom that made them was wise enough to have printed off the recipe knowing that everyone would be asking how they were made. I had everything on hand to make these and Valentine's Day was perfect. Give them a try and enoy :)
Chocolate Heath Peanut Clusters
1 package Chocolate Almond Bark
1 package Heath Bits 'O Brickle Toffee Chips
1 small can (about 8 oz.) Salted Peanuts
Melt chocolate bark in microwave 80-90 seconds. Add peanuts and toffee chips and stir. Drop on was paper or foil and let harden.
How simple was that.
For Valentine's Day I put these in a heart shaped silicone ice tray (who makes ice anymore, right). Eli had a great time filling the mold and popping them out once they had harden in the fridge for 5 minutes.
Yum! These sound really great. I never would have thought to use the heath bits with peanuts. Can't wait to try them :)
