Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need:
- 2 cups of salted peanuts
- 2 cups of caramel bits
- 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup of milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by heating the caramel bits in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Stir the caramel and then heat for an additional 30 seconds. Once the caramel is melted, add in the peanuts and stir until the peanuts are evenly coated with the caramel.
In a separate bowl, microwave the dark chocolate chips and vegetable oil for 1 minute. After the minute is up, stir the chocolate until it is completely melted. Add in the milk chocolate chips and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate until it is completely melted and smooth.
Take a spoonful of the peanut caramel mixture and dip it into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to lift the cluster out of the chocolate and place it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat the process for the remaining clusters. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Once the chocolate has set, your clusters are ready to enjoy! Store any remaining clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
