Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 1/2 cups salted dry roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, coconut oil (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Mix in the peanuts: Once your chocolate is ready, stir in the salted dry roasted peanuts until fully coated.
- Drop onto a baking sheet: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a lined baking sheet with some space in between.
- Let them set: Allow the clusters to cool and harden at room temperature or refrigerate for a quicker cool-down.
- Store or gift: Once set, store them in an airtight container or gift as a festive treat.
Notes
For best results, stir often while melting the chocolate and allow clusters to cool completely before moving.
