Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips.
Microwave the chocolate on high for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth (this should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes). Do not overheat.
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate until evenly incorporated.
Add the roasted peanuts to the chocolate mixture and stir gently until all the peanuts are evenly coated with the chocolate.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop clusters of the peanut-chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Let the peanut clusters set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or place the trays in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to speed up the setting process.
Once the peanut clusters are firm, remove them from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
