Equipment
- Double Boiler
Ingredients
- 12 oz peanuts
- 1 package peanut butter chips
- 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In the top section of a double boiler over simmering water, combine the chocolate and peanut butter chips.
- Stir frequently with a rubber spatula, scraping the sides to prevent burning, until the mixture is fully melted, about 5 minutes.
- Add the peanuts to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
- Refrigerate until the clusters are firm, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Notes

- For extra texture and flavor, consider adding mix-ins like dried fruit, shredded coconut, or crushed pretzels to the peanut and chocolate mixture before dropping it onto the baking sheet.
