Chocolate Covered Peanut Clusters Recipe

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and salt over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and the mixture turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Add the peanuts and stir to coat them evenly with the caramel.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the caramel-coated peanuts onto the prepared baking sheet. Let them cool and harden for 20-30 minutes.
6. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
7. Dip each cooled peanut cluster into the melted chocolate, or drizzle chocolate over the clusters.
8. Place the chocolate-covered clusters back on the parchment-lined sheet. Optional: sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top.
9. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the fridge for faster results.

Tips & Notes

• Use fresh peanuts for the best flavor and crunch.
• You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with milk or dark chocolate.
• Store clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
