    Oh my goodness...these look delicious! Is that white chocolate swirled in the peanut clusters? You should open a business called
    Betsy's Baskets & Bakery : )
    I bet you could even do a booming on line business. Have fun in the kitchen!

    Salty and sweet is my favorite dessert combination. And your treats look pretty too! There is an art to making your food look pretty as well as taste good.

    Always love those peanut clusters. And now that Hubby has the gout issue and can't eat the peanuts, even better for me! :)

    I made the chocolate dipped pretzels last year and man they went fast! I was surprised they were chosen over some of the other items on the cookie platter. Great photos, makes me want to reach out and grab one!
