Chocolate Peanut Clusters
March 19, 2026

Chocolate Peanut Clusters

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.
