What is National Peanut Cluster Day?
National Peanut Cluster Day is March 8th, and it is the National Peanut Cluster Day. Melted chocolate mixed with peanuts makes a delectable and salty snack combo!
For peanut clusters to even exist, two things had to happen for peanut clusters to exist. First, a process had to be invented for the cocoa bean to be processed and transformed into what we know as chocolate. That process wasn't widely used until the late 1890s and about the same time as the second extraordinary thing happened; agriculture discovered a way to grow the peanut and bring it to the public with steel tools and steam power.
It didn't take long for confectioneries to add the now readily available peanuts to melted chocolate. Even today, the sheer simplicity of the salty peanuts added to sweetened chocolate makes it a delectable temptation few can resist. Candy makers find them to be a hit addition to cookie tins or other holiday baskets. Bakers can quickly round out any cookie or bar tray with their simplicity. They also quickly satisfy a snack craving without much effort at all.
