sweet & salty candy clusters
(1 rating)
These candy clusters are so simple, no matter your cooking skill level, they'll be great! I've prepared many different cluster candies through the years, but, I always seem to come back to this combination. The recipes that inspired this sweet and salty cluster didn't include pretzels and they were skimpy on chocolate. But, now, after tweaking to make it to our taste, I wouldn't make this candy any other way! Warning, you can't eat just one!
