Peanut Clusters Recipe
These easy homemade peanut clusters are a must make holiday treat!
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups roasted salted peanuts
- 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
Topping ideas
- flaked sea salt
- melted white chocolate
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the semi sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until smooth.
- Add the peanuts and stir to combine.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and drop spoonfuls of the chocolate peanuts down. I like using a mini cookie scoop for this step for easy cleanup.
- Sprinkle with optional sea salt or sprinkles if you are using those toppings.
- Place the peanut clusters in the fridge or freezer until chocolate sets.
- If you are doing the white chocolate drizzle, do this step now. Melt white chocolate chips until smooth, then drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the hardened peanut clusters. Return the clusters to the fridge until set.
