chocolate peanut clusters

This might be the easiest chocolate candy ever. It's a simple concept of mixing different types of chocolate (or only one kind) with peanuts and a little bit of salt. Let the clusters dry and they're ready to eat! They are super easy, ready in 25 minutes and the perfect thing to make with kids, and for kid's birthdays. I mean, who doesn't love chocolate and peanuts together?

Chocolate Peanut Clusters

chocolate,

¾ cup toasted or roasted peanuts (see Notes below)

sea salt

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Melt chocolates together in the microwave, in 10-15 seconds (at the most) spurts and whisking it thoroughly until some pieces won't melt before microwaving it again. Stop when it's all mixed, don't overcook it because it goes from smooth to scorched in seconds. Or in a bowl over simmering water, being careful the chocolate doesn't touch the water.

Add peanuts, salt, and mix very well, until it's all coated.

Drop by tablespoons (or with a 1/8 measuring cup) onto prepared sheets.

Let dry completely at room temperature, which will take about 15 minutes. Larger mounds will take longer. 

Keep at room temperature, in a cool place. I like to use metal tins, but they disappear fast. 

I just made these, easy peasy!  They are hardening on the counter now and my husband came into the kitchen and I heard the parchment paper crinkle.  Just checked, one has mysteriously disappeared!  I used a glass bowl and the microwave.  I’m in no way a baker, so I followed the microwave melting.  It took a few 15 seconds stirring after each one, and about two ten seconds, I stirred and the chocolate was beautiful.  I used 12 oz of chocolate chips that I was going to use with the grandkids for cookies but they aren’t here and hubby and I are.  I’m going to change from cookies to clusters for the grandkids.  Try it, ever so easy and apparently delicious, hubby said so.
