MILLIONAIRE CANDY
This is the old timey way to make millionaires. It is the method passed down to me from my mother and to her from her mother. I will never make them any other way. A good bit of the cook time for this recipe is actually "cool" time.

Tips:
- Use a large enough baking sheet to prevent the clusters from spreading too thin.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Use a high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the chocolate, as this will make it hard and brittle.

- Store the clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
