Cooking Chocolate Peanut Clusters: The Process
- Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Make sure your peanuts are ready—if you prefer a mix of salted and unsalted, have both types set aside.
- Using a double boiler or a microwave, melt the white chocolate melts along with the semisweet and milk chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals if microwaving, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
- Remove the melted chocolate from heat and immediately stir in all the peanuts. Mix thoroughly until peanuts are completely coated.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop clusters of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Use about 1-2 tablespoons per cluster, leaving space between each.
- Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the clusters are set and firm.
- Transfer your set Chocolate Peanut Clusters to an airtight container. Store at room temperature or in the fridge for extra firmness. Enjoy anytime!
