Clodhoppers are a chocolate-covered candy typically made with a mix of crunchy cookie pieces and other ingredients. While the specific ingredients can vary by brand, many versions of Clodhoppers do not contain peanuts. However, it's important to check the packaging for allergen information, as some brands may produce their products in facilities that handle peanuts or may include them as an ingredient. Always verify the label if you have a peanut allergy.

AMOS: He was the prophet in overalls, a farmer who wore clodhoppers on his feet, calluses on his hands, and righteous anger in his heart. Amos was his name. He hailed from a dusty little town called Tekoa, about 6 miles southeast of Bethlehem, perched on the edge of the Judean badlands. Amos was a Southerner with a mission in the North. Though he was a preacher by calling, he didn't earn his living that way. On the "Occupation" line of his tax form, he listed "Nurseryman/Sheep Breeder." Amos tended fig trees, pricking the fruit to hasten their ripening, and ran a livestock business in the hills near Tekoa. No, he wasn't a professional clergyman. Never attended Bible college. Didn't have a Master's of Divinity hanging on his wall. But what Amos did have was a devotion for God. A passion for justice. A keen sense of right and wrong.
