Rocky Road Clusters

Sharing is caring!

Today we’re featuring a yummy holiday recipe from reader Rachel – Rocky Road Clusters! This would be a great recipe to make for gifts for the neighbors or to bring to a holiday gathering.

Ingredients:

• 1 package Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 1 package of Butterscotch chips
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup peanuts
• 1 package of mini marshmallows

Directions:

1.  Put 1 package of the semi sweet chocolate chips & butterscotch chips in a microwave safe bowl
2. Microwave chips for 2 minutes on medium heat (I use power level 5)
3. Chips will not look melted (see picture), but give them a stir.
4. You may need more time – 2 minutes was not long enough for me, so I did 30 more seconds on medium heat. {You do not want to overcook the chips or they will taste burnt.}
5. Add 1 cup of peanut butter {I use Adams brand, I prefer the no stir, but I only had regular today}
6. Mix well then add the package of marshmallows {you could probably add a few more or less, depending on how thick you want the clusters}
7. Drop heaping spoonfuls into paper cups {I had these pretty black and white paper cups left over from a cupcake project I did earlier this year}
8. Refrigerate til set. This takes very little time, maybe 10-20 mins.
