Peanut clusters

2 jars of dry roasted peanuts.
2 pound package of milk chocolate or white chocolate almond bark** See note below
1 package of bits or brickle (optional)

Melt chocolate in double boiler until smooth. Stir in peanuts and brickle. Drop onto wax paper covered cookie sheets. Let cool, then  store in airtight container.

**The almond barks no longer come in two pound packages or at least the ones I am finding. So make sure you check the weight before you start or you won't have enough bark for one or half a batch.
