Notes
- This recipe makes 12 large clusters or 24 small ones.
- If you prefer you could even use mini cupcake liners to hold the clusters. This is a great idea if you plan on using them as a holiday gift.
- Loaded double chocolate clusters can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If the clusters become too warm because of the heat in your home and the chocolate begins to melt, just place them in the refrigerator to set again.
- Yes you can, once the clusters are set, you can move them to a freezer bag or container. It might be a good idea to store them in layers separated with parchment paper. They will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. You can thaw them in the fridge.
