Nutty Buddies

Chocolate nutty clusters that are simple and quick to make. Put the chips in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with a dampened paper towel and cook on high for 1 minute.

Ingredients:

• 1 (12 oz.) package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 (12 oz.) package of butterscotch chips
• 1 (16 oz.) can of cocktail peanuts or mixed nuts
• waxed paper

Directions:

Put the chips in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with a dampened paper towel and cook on high for 1 minute.

Take out and stir. Cook for 1 more minute.

Stir until chips are well blended. Add the nuts, stirring well.

Scoop out tablespoon-sized clusters onto the waxed paper.

They cool pretty quickly. When firm, put in an airtight container.
