Easy Peanut Clusters

These are incredibly easy to make and come together so quickly.  Perfect for holiday gifts!

Oh, and did I mention they’re delicious?  Because they are.  Enjoy!

1 (12-oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 squares white almond bark*
1 lb salted, roasted peanuts

Melt the chocolate chips and white bark together in a glass bowl in the microwave.  Zap it for a minute, stir, then continue in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and thin.  Stir in the peanuts & drop spoonfuls onto a wax-paper lined baking sheet.  Let sit or refrigerate until firm, then package or put on a serving plate.

*Update 12/7/09: I have now made these using chocolate almond bark in place of the white and while both versions are good, I like this one better because the chocolate flavor is a little stronger.
