It makes sense that chocolate peanut clusters would be easy to make, but I think I never realized just HOW easy they are to make!  I’m talking, it takes 3 minutes to prepare, 3 minutes to drop in clumps on wax paper, and 5 seconds to stick in the fridge.  So, if you have 6 minutes and 5 seconds to spare, you could easily make peanut clusters.
