Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Dry-roasted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter.
Microwave the chocolate and peanut butter mixture on high for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes total.
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
Gently fold in the dry-roasted peanuts, ensuring that they are fully coated in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoon-sized clusters of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about an inch apart.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster for a sweet-salty flavor combination.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the clusters to set completely.
Once hardened, transfer the clusters to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve and enjoy these delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Clusters as a treat or dessert!
