Candy Corn Peanut Clusters

Some people say "Don't mess with perfection." That was my initial thought when I tasted the handful of candy corn and dry roasted peanuts from my sister Carrie. It was absolutely delicious - the way the sweet candy corn mixed with the dry, salty peanuts - clearly a match made in heaven.

 

 

But I couldn't leave it alone. I had to mess.

So what could possibly make this perfect combination even better?

 

 

 

White chocolate. And peanut butter. CLEARLY.

 



I melted them together in a small saucepan, and stirred in the candy corn/peanut concoction.

 

 

Then dropped them in clusters onto parchment paper, and refrigerated until hardened.

 

 

And...if possible...they were even better than the perfect handful that inspired them! Here's the recipe:

 

 

Candy Corn Peanut Clusters

 

1 cup white chocolate (I used Wilton Candy Melts)

1/4 cup peanut butter

 

Mix together in a saucepan and melt over medium-low heat, stirring often to avoid burning.

 

1 1/2 cups dry roasted peanuts

1 cup candy corn

 

Mix together and add to melted white chocolate & peanut butter.

Drop in tablespoons onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until hardened.

Makes approx. 2 dozen
