Peanut Clusters
Peanut Clusters are simple no-bake treats where semisweet chocolate chips are melted and mixed with salted shelled peanuts, then spooned onto parchment to cool and harden. Sprinkling sea salt on top enhances both the flavor and texture contrast. These clusters are a quick, straightforward snack with a balance of sweet chocolate and salty nuts that harden into bite-sized morsels suitable for sharing or a quick sweet fix.
