Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (227 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1½ cups (219 g) roasted, salted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can use cupcake liners in a cupcake pan for easy serving.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Cool the chocolate slightly: Allow the melted chocolate to sit for about 3 minutes to cool slightly but remain pliable for mixing.
  4. Fold in peanuts: Add the roasted, salted peanuts to the melted chocolate and gently mix until all peanuts are fully coated with chocolate.
  5. Form clusters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined sheet, spacing them evenly.
  6. Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the clusters for at least 20 minutes, or until they are firm and set.
  7. Store properly: Transfer the set clusters to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one month to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute salted peanuts with unsalted or roasted nuts of your choice for different flavor variations.
  • If you prefer sweeter clusters, you can add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup before folding in the peanuts.
  • Ensure the chocolate is not too hot before mixing in the peanuts to prevent melting the nuts’ salt coating.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanuts with roasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.
  • Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
