What Are Goo Goo Clusters?<\/h2>\r\n\"Goo\r\n\r\nSo what on earth are Goo Goo Clusters? The classic version of this Tennessee treat consists of peanuts, caramel and marshmallow nougat all cloaked in a layer of milk chocolate.\r\n\r\nThe end result is cluster about the size of a chocolate chip cookie or Oreo. It tastes like a Salted Nut Roll\u2014but better. Or a Snickers\u2014but better. Really, though, Goo Goos (as the candies are affectionately called) are unlike any candy bar you'll find in the checkout lane of Target or at the movie-theater concession counter.\r\n\r\nWith peanuts and caramel, Goo Goo Clusters combine that sweet and salty<\/a> combination many of us love. Pair that with sweet, marshmallowy nougat and chocolate and you have a chewy, rich treat that no one on either side of the Mississippi can resist.\r\n
