(by Shirley McNevich)
16oz. Baker's semi-sweet baking chocolate (or Baker's white chocolate if you prefer)
2 tsp. vanilla
16oz. Planter's dry roasted peanuts
Line cookie sheets with wax paper--set aside. Melt baking chocolate in either a microwave or a double boiler (according to box directions). Once melted, quickly add vanilla to the chocolate and stir briskly. Add whole peanuts to the chocolate mixture--stir carefully. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls on to the wax paper--refrigerate. Once they have set and are cold, remove each cluster from wax paper and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Variation--put in a few less peanuts and add some Kellogg's Rice Krispies in their place.
