Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 cup Roasted salted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable shortening
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable shortening. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Once melted, stir in the raisins and roasted salted peanuts, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated with chocolate.
Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming clusters.
Let the clusters cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the clusters are firm, remove them from the baking sheet and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
