2010 Cookie Contest: Cookie Clusters

Submitted by Linda Burnette

"This recipe came from my mother. She used to make them every Christmas to give to friends and neighbors along with a homemade ornament. I'm continuing the tradition by making them for my co-workers, friends and neighbors along with the Christmas ornament that I make."

12 oz. almond bark

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 cup party peanuts

1 1/4 cup rice krispies

1 cup miniature marshmallows

Melt almond bark with peanut butter in microwave for about 2 minutes. Stir in rice krispies and peanuts. Fold in marshmallows and drop a teaspoonful onto wax paper. Cool at room temperature at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
