CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUTS
This recipe was sent to me from Emily Betts who got it from Judy Hair; don’t you just love a small town? They make it in a round crock-pot and do place the white bark up the sides still cooking it on low but for 2 ¼ hours. That did not work for me so you have 2 options depending on your crock-pot.

Ingredients
Directions
In crock pot:
Pour peanuts into crock-pot making a little well in the center
Pour chocolate chips in center
Place white bark on top of chocolate chips
*Do not let any chocolate touch the sides or bottom of the crock-pot
Cook on LOW for 1 1/4 hours until chocolate begins to melt
Stir well to coat peanuts.
Spoon onto waxed paper in the size you want the peanut clusters to be.
They will harden in about an hour. Can put on cookie sheets and place in refrigerator to speed up the hardening process.
