Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips.
Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes total.
Stir the roasted peanuts into the melted chocolate, making sure all the peanuts are evenly coated.
Using a spoon, drop small clusters of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for about 1 to 2 tablespoons per cluster.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt onto each cluster while the chocolate is still wet.
Let the chocolate peanut clusters sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set. For quicker results, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Once set, gently peel the clusters off the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
