Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanuts (unsalted, roasted)
- 1 cup almonds (chopped)
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup dried shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (for garnish)
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Stir the peanuts, chopped almonds, dried cranberries, and shredded coconut (if using) into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster while the chocolate is still warm and melted.
Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process (approximately 30 minutes).
Once fully set, transfer the clusters to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
Enjoy these easy, no-bake chocolate clusters as a snack or dessert!
