Can you imagine trying to eat just one??????????????
Peanutty Pie Crust Clusters

. Whip up a delicious treat with flaky pie crust squares, peanut butter and toffee. Sweet? Salty? Crunchy? Check, check and check!

1 Pillsbury™ refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on box
1 bag (12 oz) white vanilla baking chips (2 cups)
1 Tbs Crisco® Baking Sticks Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening
1 Tbs Jif® Creamy Peanut Butter
1 cup salted cocktail peanuts
2/3 cup toffee bits

1. Heat oven to 450°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with Reynolds® Cut-Rite® Wax Paper.

2. Unroll pie crust on work surface. With pizza cutter or knife, cut into 16 rows by 16 rows to make small squares. Arrange squares in single layer on large ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove squares from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 5 minutes.

3. In large microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips, shortening and peanut butter uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring once, until chips can be stirred smooth. Add pie crust squares, peanuts and toffee bits; stir gently until evenly coated. Immediately drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto lined cookie sheets. (If mixture gets too thick, microwave on High 15 seconds; stir.) Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until set. Store covered.

chopped nuts? I thought IF I can't not make this ( ) - I'd just use chunky p.butter and forget the toffee bits. Looks really bad, doesn't it???????

No, I was wondering what toffee product would you use for this recipe? It's been a looooong time since I've walked down the candy aisle at the supermarket.

My brain is really not functioning today.

Oops...I didn't mean to say DARN brown bag. DARK brown bag. LOL.

But then again, if I had a bag around I probably would be saying darn brown bag.

I LOVE you those toffee bits! We used to do a frozen "dessert" in summer with whipped cream, ice cream sandwiches and those toffee bits! Oh man! Was it good...and so simple!
