Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 2 cups dry roasted salted peanuts
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and the butterscotch chips.
Microwave the chocolate and butterscotch chips on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1.5–2 minutes. Be careful not to overheat to avoid burning the chocolate.
Once the mixture is smooth, stir in the dry roasted salted peanuts until they are fully coated in the chocolate and butterscotch mixture.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters.
Allow the clusters to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place the tray in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once set, remove the clusters from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for extended freshness.
Enjoy these delicious Chocolate Butterscotch Peanut Clusters as a treat or gift them to friends and family!
