Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups unsalted dry roasted peanuts
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips.
Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Once melted, stir in the dry roasted peanuts, ensuring they are fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
Using a spoon, scoop small clusters of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for about a tablespoon of the mixture per cluster.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow the clusters to cool and set at room temperature for about 2 hours or place them in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes until firm.
Once solid, transfer the clusters to an airtight container for storage at room temperature or in the refrigerator. These can be stored for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy your homemade chocolate covered peanut clusters as a treat or gift!
