EASY PEANUT CLUSTERS
This candy is a must for gifts, parties, or special occasions, especially if your time is limited. NOTE: The butterscotch chips will NOT melt. When they are soft, they look shiney. Do not overcook, as the chocolate will burn. You may use more peanuts if desired. I usually throw in more to make sure the last pieces have some nuts in them.

Tips:
- For a sweeter peanut cluster, use a light corn syrup instead of the dark corn syrup.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the mixture forms a hard ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture, as it can quickly burn.
- To make sure the peanut clusters don't stick to the pan, grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter.
- If you want to add other ingredients to your peanut clusters, such as raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts, stir them in after the sugar mixture has been poured over the peanuts.
