Sugar Bombs

I started making this sweet when I had to make a dessert for the staff party, but didn't have eggs or flour. Time was a bit rushed so I decided to try and experiment with some of the materials on hand and came up with a delicious chocolate peanut butter combination. I shared them at the staff party, and later made them again for my students. I led an after-school Russian club for the some high school students and brought some of the candy in as a treat. Such giddiness followed the consumption of these sweets that the teens dubbed them "sugar bombs" and warned that they were fairly dangerous. If you need a sugar rush, these are for you!
The great thing about this recipe is even if you mess up some on the directions its not really a big deal - its all going to the same place!


Sugar Bombs
Ingredients:
one package semi-sweet chocolate chips
one package peanut butter chips (unless you mess up, then you'll need another cup or so)
2 cups or so of mini-marshmallows (more is generally better, I do it by eye honestly)
1 cup or more of broken up peanuts (more if you like peanuts a lot, less if you don't like them)

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave (make sure not to burn if in microwave). Remove from heat and let cool a moment or two. Stir in peanut butter chips-- the idea is to have about half of the chips melt and the other half stay fairly intact. If you mess up and they all melt, just let the chocolate cool some more and then add another cup of peanut butter chips.
Stir in mini-marshmallows and peanuts.

Pour mixture into foil-lined baking pan (13x9 for very thin candies or 8x8 for fat candies- I like 'em fat).

Cool in fridge till hard. Cut into chunks and enjoy-- but beware overindulging!

Couldn't get any easier, hmm?
