Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 oz peanut butter chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups salted peanuts
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and creamy peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring well after each round, until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 2 minutes total. Be cautious not to overheat.
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Gently fold in the salted peanuts, ensuring they are evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop clusters of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Refrigerate the clusters for 1 hour, or until fully set and firm.
Once set, remove the clusters from the baking sheets and store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
