Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) package of semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
- ¼ cup of creamy or crunchy peanut butter (optional)
- 2 cups of unsalted peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of peanut clusters once hardened.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well between intervals until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Add Peanut Butter (Optional): If using peanut butter, stir it into the melted chocolate until fully incorporated, creating a uniform mixture.
- Mix in Peanuts: Add the peanuts to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until all the peanuts are evenly coated with chocolate.
- Form Clusters: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters. Repeat until the entire mixture is used.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened and the clusters are firm.
- Serve or Store: Once set, enjoy the peanut clusters immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future snacking.
Notes
- Use good quality vegan chocolate to enhance the taste and texture of the peanut clusters.
- For the most crunch, use roasted peanuts instead of raw peanuts.
- Adjust the cluster size according to preference but avoid making them too thick to ensure they are easy to eat.
