Chocolate Nut Clusters
As a teen I never really had skin problems. Perhaps this is why I had never heard about vitamin b for acne. However, my teenage son started to break out and I quickly learned all the facts and myths surrounding it. Believe it or not, chocolate causing acne is a myth. I am not sure how it's lasted this long, but chocolate won't cause acne. It may cause bigger hips or thighs but not acne! Ha.
Nut Clusters
2 cups sugar
1 c evaporated milk
28 caramels, unwrapped
2 c chocolate chips - milk or semi-sweet
2 c chopped nuts
1 t vanilla
Bring 2 cups sugar and 1 cup evaporated milk over to a boil over medium heat and boil 1 minute; add the caramels and boil 4 more minutes. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, nuts and vanilla. Stir until thick and drop by teaspoon on waxed paper -- chill and serve. (You can also freeze these.)
