peanut clusters

I could have called these the nectar of the gods and once you tasted them you would believe.  Thanks to my sis Paula for the recipe.
Make your favorite butter cream recipe or follow the one below
Put quarter size blobs of the butter cream on wax paper
Melt 1# milk chocolate, 1# semi sweet chocolate together Do Not Skip on the quality of chocolate, you will regret it
Mix 2# of cocktail peanuts( pecans or cashews would be good too) into the melted chocolate, form into mounds over the butter cream blobs.
Let cool until firm  These freeze great if there are any left, I wouldn't know this personally.

Basic butter cream
1 stick butter do not substitute at room temperature
1# powder sugar
1tsp vanilla or for maple creams substitute maple flavoring
dash of salt
3T milk
Cream the butter and sugar until blended and the rest of the ingredients, adding the milk a little at a time until it is spreadable.
Beat it until it is light a fluffy about 10 minutes
These nut clusters make a great gift if you can bear to share them.
