Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Peanut Clusters made with a smooth blend of semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy white almond bark, and crunchy salted peanuts. Perfectly portioned as bite-sized treats, these rich clusters are ideal for snacking, gifting, or enjoying as a sweet indulgence. With minimal ingredients and simple steps, this no-bake recipe comes together quickly and sets in the fridge for a firm, satisfying texture.

Ingredients

Chocolate Mixture

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 oz white almond bark, chopped (or white chocolate melting wafers)

Nuts

  • 1 lb salted cocktail peanuts or salted Spanish peanuts

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate and almond bark: In a double boiler, gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white almond bark together. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps, then remove from heat to prevent burning.
  2. Combine with peanuts: Stir the salted peanuts into the melted chocolate and almond bark mixture, ensuring all peanuts are thoroughly coated.
  3. Form clusters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the peanut mixture onto baking sheets lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Make each cluster around two to three bite-sized portions as they are rich and satisfying in smaller amounts.
  4. Chill to set: Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator and let the peanut clusters chill for 30 to 45 minutes until they have fully set and hardened.
  5. Store properly: Once set, transfer the peanut clusters to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Using a double boiler prevents the chocolate from burning and ensures a smooth melt.
  • You can substitute white almond bark with white chocolate melting wafers if preferred.
  • For variation, try adding different types of nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra flavor burst.
  • These clusters are best stored chilled to keep their shape and texture intact.
