Ingredients
  

For the Clusters
  • 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips You can also use chopped chocolate bars.
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter Natural peanut butter can be used; mix well to avoid oil separation.
  • 3 cups Roasted salted peanuts Lightly crush if desired for more texture.

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Add for warmth.
  • 1 pinch Salt To enhance flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or a double boiler until smooth.
  3. Stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is silky.
  4. Fold in the roasted peanuts until evenly coated.
Forming Clusters
  1. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet.
  2. Chill in the refrigerator until firm.

Notes

Store clusters in an airtight container; they keep well at room temperature for a few days, in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, and in the freezer for 2 months. Layer parchment between stacks when storing in the fridge to prevent sticking.
