Prepare a baking sheet or tray by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, pecans, cashews, and peanuts.
Pour the melted chocolate over the nuts and gently stir until all the nuts are evenly coated in chocolate.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form clusters.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over each cluster while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
Once set, transfer the nutty chocolate clusters to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
