Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate
- 2 cups Milk chocolate-flavored melting wafers
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
Nuts
- 1 cup Salted roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate wafers: Place the milk chocolate-flavored melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the wafers are completely melted and smooth.
- Add milk chocolate chips: Stir the milk chocolate chips into the melted wafers, mixing well until the entire chocolate mixture becomes smooth and shiny.
- Incorporate peanuts: Gently fold the salted roasted peanuts into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring every peanut is well coated with chocolate.
- Form clusters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the peanut-chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about an inch apart to avoid sticking.
- Set the clusters: Allow the clusters to stand at room temperature until fully set. For faster results, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes until firm.
Notes
- Use high-quality milk chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Ensure peanuts are dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- Store clusters in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate to keep them fresh longer.
- Can substitute salted peanuts with unsalted for less sodium, adding a pinch of salt if desired.
- Perfect for gifting or as a quick homemade snack.
