Equipment
- Large Saucepan
- Wax Paper or silicone baking mat
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Almond Bark or candy melts
- 1 12 ounce bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 12 ounce bag Milk Chocolate Chips
- 6 cups Salted Peanuts
Instructions
- Place a heavy saucepan over low heat and add the almond bark (or candy melts), milk chocolate chips, and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the pan and melt, stirring frequently, until smooth and fully melted. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour the peanuts into the pot and fold them into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
- Using a spoon scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture out and place it in clumps onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet (or line it with a silicon baking mat). Do this immediately so it's easier to scoop. Then place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill for about 20 minutes.
Notes
- Storage Instructions: To store your chocolate peanut clusters place them in an air-tight container or bag. You can also arrange them in gift bags tied with string. They will last for about 2 weeks.
- Freezing Instructions: To freeze peanut clusters, place them in an airtight container or a zip-top freezer bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
