Peanut butter clusters

Babiche Martens

These chocolate noodle balls are an old favourite of mine and are perfect to have hidden in the back of the fridge for a sneaky sweet surprise. Visitors will be amazed when you tell them they are made out of crispy noodles. To make the balls a little more festive, add some other nuts or chopped cherries.

Ingredients

200 g	Dark chocolate (Main)
½ cup	Peanut butter (Main)
½ cup	Peanuts, roughly chopped (Main)
1 packet	Crispy noodles (Main)

1. Line a tray with baking paper.
2. Place the chocolate into a bowl over simmering water and stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from the heat.
