Chocolate Peanut Clusters are the easiest edible gifts to make over Christmas! Slow cooker or stove top methods and only a handful of ingredients!
Prep Time:5minutes mins
Cook Time:10minutes mins
Servings:60 clusters (or more)
Ingredients
- ▢2 lbs white chocolate melts or almond bark
- ▢21 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- ▢14 oz milk chocolate chips
- ▢13 ounces unsalted peanuts or dry roasted peanuts
- ▢13 ounces salted peanuts
Instructions
- Line 1-2 large baking sheets with parchment paper (baking paper).
STOVE TOP:
- Throw all of the chocolate into a heavy based pot or pan over low heat.
- Cook while stirring occasionally until melted and smooth (about 10-15 minutes). Let cool for 5 minutes, then stir in nuts.
- Use a cookie scoop or metal spoon to drop the mixture into rounds onto prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate until set (about 1 hour).
SLOW COOKER:
- Spray a 6 quart (6 litre) slow cooker bowl with nonstick oil spray. Or use a liner.
- Throw in all of the ingredients, cover and cook on low for 1-2 hours or until chocolate is completely melted. (Stir occasionally — every 20-30 minutes or so — to avoid burning the chocolate on the bottom of the cooker bowl.)
- Give the mixture a good stir to combine.
- Use a cookie scoop or metal spoon to drop the mixture into rounds onto prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate until set (about 1 hour).
Notes
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 2 months.
