I started making these Polar Bear Claws when I was a teacher. A parent brought me some as a gift but didn't want to share the recipe with me (family secret!) so I did my best to duplicate them. I wasn't even close, but these caramely and peanuty candies were a hit at my house so we made them for several years.

My version is super simple and makes up very quickly. No cooking needed, just a bit of melting in the microwave. Give them a try and let me know what you think.
