Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips.
Step 3
Microwave the chocolate on high for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth (this should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes). Do not overheat.
Step 4
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate until evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Add the roasted peanuts to the chocolate mixture and stir gently until all the peanuts are evenly coated with the chocolate.
Step 6
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop clusters of the peanut-chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 7
Let the peanut clusters set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or place the trays in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to speed up the setting process.
Step 8
Once the peanut clusters are firm, remove them from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
