Peanut Clusters
Description
These peanut clusters start by melting semisweet chocolate chips carefully in a microwave in short intervals, preventing burning. Once smooth, shelled unsalted peanuts and a pinch of sea salt are stirred in to coat the nuts evenly with chocolate. The mixture is spooned onto parchment paper in small mounds and sprinkled with a dusting of sea salt while still wet. Placing them in the refrigerator solidifies the chocolate, forming firm clusters with a glossy appearance.
The result is a sweet and salty treat where crunchy peanuts contrast the smooth chocolate coating. The sea salt sprinkled on top brightens the flavor without overpowering the chocolate’s sweetness. These clusters require no baking and minimal ingredients, making them accessible and convenient for homemade candy.

- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 1/2 cup peanuts shelled, unsalted
