I have been making this recipe for over 10 years now. The only thing I do different is melting the chips inthe microwave, stirring every 15 seconds till smooth. The spanish peanuts give them a wonderful salty taste...everyone asks me for the recipe. A Christmas tradition inour family!

This is a good and easy recipe, however, I agree with the another review that suggested not using the raw Spanish peanuts next time! I think the recipe would be much more flavorful with roasted peanuts.

I got this recipe with my 1st microwave (Amana "Radar Range"),LONG ago. I have made these clusters for Christmas, in the microwave for 30 plus years. My recipe calls for "Cocktail" peanuts. Put them in small papers for a more fancy presentation. AWESOME

I am excited to try your recipe but want to know if it is in fact 12 CUPS of peanut butter chips. Seems like that might be too many, and certainly too much for my double boiler.
