How to Make Clodhopper Candy
-
Prepare the Base:
Break the graham crackers into small pieces, about the size of a fingernail. You want them crunchy but not powdered. -
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and creamy. -
Mix It All Together:
Pour the melted mixture over the graham cracker pieces (and nuts or pretzels, if using). Stir until everything is evenly coated. -
Form the Clusters:
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Alternatively, you can spread it out and break it into chunks later. -
Set and Store:
Refrigerate for about 20–30 minutes, or until the candy hardens. Once firm, break into clusters and store in an airtight container. They keep well at room temperature for up to a week—or in the fridge for longer.
Tips for Perfect Clodhoppers
-
Switch up the chocolate: Try milk, dark, or even butterscotch chips for a flavor twist.
-
Add-ins: Crushed pretzels, mini marshmallows, or cereal (like Rice Krispies) give great texture.
-
Holiday spin: Use red and green M&M’s or colored candy melts for Christmas, or pastel colors for Easter.
