Time 15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) bag miniature marshmallows
1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 (14 ounce) can Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
2 teaspoons butter

Steps:

Melt chocolate chips in pan with Eagle Brand milk.

marshmallows. Mix together. Pour in buttered pan.
Chill 2 hours and cut.

Tips:

To achieve the right consistency for the caramel, cook it until it reaches a temperature of 240°F (hard-ball stage). This will ensure that the caramel is thick and gooey, but not too hard.
Be cautious when working with hot sugar. Always use a heatproof spatula or spoon, and wear oven mitts to protect your hands.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the caramel forms a hard ball, it is ready.
To prevent the chocolate from seizing, add it to the hot caramel in small increments, stirring constantly until it is completely melted and smooth.
To ensure that the Goo Goo Clusters set properly, refrigerate them for at least 2 hours before enjoying.

Conclusion:

These copycat Goo Goo Clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
