Chocolate Chip Clusters

1 cup chocolate chips (You can use dark chocolate or any kind you like or have on hand)
1 cup butterscotch chips
2 teaspoons shortening
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup nuts of your choice (I used walnuts)

Place chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and shortening in a microwave safe bowl.  Microwave for  1 to 2 minutes or until melted, stirring often. Remove and stir in coconut, raisins, and nuts.  Place cupcake papers in muffin tins and put about two tablespoons chocolate mixture in each one.  Place in refrigerator for about 45 minutes or until hardened.  Makes 12 clusters depending on size you make them.  These keep well in the fridge for several days. Just remove from papers and put in plastic freezer bags.  Enjoy when a craving for chocolate hits you!
