Chocolate Peanut Clusters Made with Two-Ingredients
These homemade Chocolate Peanut Clusters are so fun to make! Made with semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted peanuts, and you have the option to add flaky sea salt.
Equipment
- Wax Paper
- Baking Sheet
- Medium to large, Broiler-safe dish
- Cookie scoop or spoon to form clusters
Ingredients
- 11 ounces baking semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups unsalted peanuts
- a few pinches of flaky sea salt optional
- 2 teaspoons unflavored vegetable oil
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet (approximately 15" x 10") with wax paper.
Using broiler method:
- Add one (1) inch of water to a pot that will comfortably fit a broiler-safe dish to melt your chocolate and peanut mixture.
- Bring the pot to a boil. Next, add your chocolate chips and turn the heat down to medium-high heat and occasionally stir as it melts in a broiler-safe bowl until completely melted.
- Fold in 2 cups of peanuts into melted chocolate chips.
- Using a 1-2 inch cookie scoop, scoop out your chocolate/peanut mixture and place it onto wax paper about one inch apart.
- Once all chocolate peanut clusters have been added to the baking sheet sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of clusters. A little goes a long way.
- Place baking sheet in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or until completely set.
- Allow to sit for a few minutes to warm up to room temperature.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't have a dish big enough to melt chocolate and fold in peanuts, use two separate bowls. Melt chocolate then pour over peanuts in a mixing bowl until combined. Scoop chocolate and peanuts into clusters onto a baking sheet and follow the same instructions as above.
Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl until completely melted 15 to 30-second increments, stirring). Once you find your chocolate melting, add vegetable oil to help keep a smooth consistency and avoid chocolate from overheating.
