Crunchy Peanut Candy

(submitted by Dawn Shell)

Every year my mom makes this candy for Christmas. I had some left over so I shared it at the January Veterans Quilt Project. Everyone seemed to like it so I thought I’d share the recipe too.

2 lbs white chocolate

2 cups Rice Crispies

2 cups miniature marshmallows

2 cups dry roasted peanuts

2 cups chunky peanut butter

Measure all ingredients except the chocolate into a large bowl. Then melt the chocolate in a double boiler or a heavy pan over low heat. When melted, pour over ingredients in bowl. Mix well. Pour into jelly roll pan, or cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Chill 2 hours. Cut into squares. -L.A. Times, 1995
