CrockPot Peanut Clusters
Day 356.
11 days to go until 2009. Im going to cry.
Today is the first day of Hanukkah, and there are only a few days left until Christmas. If youre entertaining for the holidays, or need any last-minute hostess gifts, these peanut clusters rock. And they make A LOT. You could easily feed the entire neighborhood on one batch, or make yourself very, very sick.
I, um, have eaten too many. Much too many. Its Susan and Amies fault. I had to change Susans original recipe because I live in one of the few places in the world without a Walmart, and couldnt find Chocolate Bark. Nor did any of our grocery stores know what chocolate bark is/was. So I improvised, and am quite pleased with the results. My waistband, not so much...
The Ingredients.
3 (16-ounce) jars lightly salted roasted peanuts (lightly salted is important!)
2 (4-ounce) boxes German Bakers Chocolate
1 (8-ounce) box Unsweetened Bakers Chocolate (there are 2 in the picture. that was wrong.)
1 (24-ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla (not pictured because I didnt know I wanted/needed it until after the photo)
The Directions.
Use a large crockpot. This makes about 150 peanut clusters. Spray the inside of your crock with cooking spray, and place the unwrapped baking chocolate, and bars of German chocolate in the bottom. Add all the peanuts. Pour in the chocolate chips, and add vanilla. Cover and
Let cool before eating---this takes a long time---hours. Itd be best to leave them overnight so you dont pick at them. Unless you have much more will power than I do, then I suppose it would be okay. But I sort of hate you.
Package up and give away as soon as possible.
The Verdict.
These are addictive. The chocolate flavor is quite rich, and tastes dark. If you arent a fan of dark chocolate, use milk chocolate chips. The salt flavor from the nuts is subtle, but is there, and it makes your tongue itch for more.
and more.
I was thinking about nut-allergies during the night. I think you should turn these into pretzel clusters. Definitely.

CARROT NOODLES WITH GINGER LIME PEANUT SAUCE
Raw Carrot Pasta with Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: Serves 4 to 6 people
Ingredients
- 5 large carrots, peeled and spiraled into noodles
- 1/3 cup roasted cashews
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons coconut milk

For the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce:
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix together until smooth and creamy.
- Wash carrots well, peel them, and pat them dry.
- Using your spiral slicer, make noodles out of all of the carrots. It will be more difficult to make the noodles once there is only a few inches of carrot left, so you can grate what’s left of the carrot.
- Place all carrot noodles into a large serving bowl. Pour the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce over the noodles and gently toss together (I use my hands for this part).
- Serve with roasted cashews (or peanuts) and freshly chopped cilantro.

Notes
If you dont have a spiral slicer, you can simply grate the carrots with a box grater to make this recipe. :D
