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:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your peanut praline clusters.
- Make sure your peanuts are roasted and unsalted. If you use salted peanuts, your clusters will be too salty.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If you cook it for too long, it will become hard and brittle.
- Work quickly when you are shaping the clusters. The sugar mixture will start to harden quickly, so you need to work quickly to get them shaped before it hardens.
- If you have trouble shaping the clusters, you can use a spoon to drop the mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will make them more uniform in size and shape.
- Let the clusters cool completely before you store them. This will help them to keep their shape.
