East Crock Pot Peanut Clusters

Start to Finish: 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1- 12 oz. bag white chocolate chips
1- 12 oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Lb. white chocolate almond bark (or 8 2-oz. cubes)
2 (1 Lb.) jars peanuts (lightly salted)
Directions:
1) Combine all ingredients in a large crock pot on LOW heat for 1 hour, stirring once half-way through.
2) Using a spoon, scoop clumps of peanut mixture on to wax paper and allow to cool to room temperature.
3) You may refrigerate or freeze them... just be sure to serve at room temperature for the best texture.
4) If you want to make a decorative topping just melt some white chocolate chips or vanilla melts and drizzle over the top!
Variations: I think variations would probably be any different designs you would want on the top. Caramel added into it would probably be delicious as well.
 
Notes:  I made this for plates for Christmas and it is yummy. Very easy to make. Just throw the ingredients in the crock pot and stir once.
 
Servings: 48
Estimated Cost: $16.00

4th of July Fruit Dessert

Start to Finish: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
Pound cake
Blueberries
Strawberries, sliced
Whipped topping

Directions:
Tear or cut the pound cake into squares, place a layer on the bottom of your serving dish. Place a layer of blueberries on top of the pound cake. Add another layer of pound cake. Top that with a layer of strawberries. Finish by topping with whipped topping. Chill before serving and chill any unused portion.

Notes: My mom made this for 4th of July this year. It was delicious. She kind of altered whatever recipe she had glanced at to make it her own and it turned out really good.

Variations: The key is to use red, white, and blue. You can use raspberries instead of or in addition to strawberries. Also you can add as many layers as you want.

Estimated Price: $10.00
