National Peanut Cluster Day

National Peanut Cluster Day is on March 8th in the United States.

The traditional peanut cluster is simply a cluster of peanuts that have been covered in chocolate.

This makes them a comparatively easy treat to make at home, as all you need are some peanuts and some melted chocolate. Simply melt the chocolate, dip the shelled peanuts into the chocolate, then put them in piles - "clusters" on a suitable non-stick surface to harden, rather than individually. Individual small cake papers, such as for fairy cakes, are suitable for this. Alternatively, you could fill one of these cake liners with peanuts, and pour the chocolate over them.

Whilst this is the simplest type of peanut cluster, other ingredients could also be added, such as raisins. There are a number of different commercial varieties of peanut cluster available too.
