Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 2 cups Milk chocolate-flavored melting wafers
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
Mix-ins
- 1 cup Salted roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Melting the Chocolate: Place 2 cups of milk chocolate-flavored melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until completely melted and smooth.
- Adding Chocolate Chips: Stir in 1 cup of milk chocolate chips into the melted wafers. Continue mixing until the chocolate mixture becomes smooth and shiny.
- Incorporating Peanuts: Gently fold 1 cup of salted roasted peanuts into the chocolate mixture, ensuring the peanuts are well coated evenly with chocolate.
- Forming Clusters: Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Space them about one inch apart to prevent sticking.
- Setting the Clusters: Let the clusters stand at room temperature until they are set. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Notes
- Use good quality milk chocolate for the best flavor and shine.
- Ensure peanuts are completely coated to avoid clumping.
- Store clusters in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- Clusters can be customized by adding other nuts or dried fruits if desired.
