What ingredients go into chocolate peanut clusters?
white chocolate melts or almond bark can be used to break through the semisweet and milk chocolates, providing a great base for flavor and texture. Even if you don’t like white chocolate, you won’t taste it in this.
Semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips. The best quality of chocolates you can use are Belgium, Cadbury, nestle, or Ghirardelli.
Milk chocolate chips create a balance of sweet and bittersweet. For our sweet peanuts clusters, we use less milk and more semisweet as we find it yields the best taste without being too sweet peanuts.
Masala Groundnut provide the salty needed for the sweet going on in here!
Unsalted sweet peanuts balance out the saltiness.
How to make stovetop chocolate-covered peanuts clusters
You won’t believe how easy it is to make chocolate peanut clusters on the stove. No double boilers needed! Just throw all of the chocolate into a heavy-based pot or pan over low heat. Cook while stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted and smooth (about 10 minutes or so). If there are a couple of lumps, don’t worry! The heat will melt your chocolate while the nuts are being mixed in.
How to Make Crockpot Chocolate Covered Peanuts Clusters?
Use a 6-quart slow cooker and spray with cooking oil spray. Throw in all of your ingredients, cover and cook on low until melted. It takes about 1-2 hours. I suggest stirring every 20-30 minutes or so to prevent burning.
Line large baking sheet with parchment (baking paper). We use about 3 baking sheets. You can also use mini cupcake liners for serve-size ready gifts.
Drop chocolate mixture onto the paper with a cookie scoop or tablespoon (whatever is easier for you). Then set in the refrigerator.
Optional Add-Ins
For festive clusters, top with mini red and green m&m’s, red and green sprinkles or colored edible glitter before they set in the refrigerator.
can you freeze peanut clusters?
Absolutely. When they are set, place them in freezer bags or airtight containers to freeze.
