The Secret to Clusters That Hold Together
Use enough chocolate to coat every peanut. If the mix looks dry, add another handful of chips. Let the chocolate cool for a minute before scooping so the clusters sit taller instead of spreading into puddles. A pinch of salt on top makes the chocolate taste richer.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
What chocolate should I use? 🍫
Vegan chocolate chips or a chopped dark chocolate bar. Semi-sweet melts smoothly.
Can I use other nuts? 🌰
Yes. Almonds, cashews, or mixed nuts all work. Pretzels are good too.
Do they need the fridge? 🧊
Yes if your kitchen is warm. They’ll soften at room temperature.
