Cook Time: Nil
Yield: 1 Cup Plus
Ingredients
1 Cup or 140 g Peanuts
7 oz or 200 g Chocolate

Choose milk, dark or white chocolate, or a combination.
You can halve the nuts quantity and add dried fruit such as cranberries or raisins to make up the total 1 cup quantity.

1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Place broken up chocolate in a bowl and put in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate has melted.
3. Add the nuts to the melted chocolate and give it a good stir so all the nuts are coated.
4. Use any size spoon, (I used a teaspoon), and scoop the mixture and place in clusters on the parchment paper and allow to set. Once cool, store in an airtight container.

I also added crasins, I added nuts, every kind, I also added smarties, (in Canada they would be like a M&M in the US) I also added tiny Oreo cookies from a snack pack, and little marshmellows,
Thank you, from myself, and all the people I give them to that just love them….

13th December 2015 at 10:27 pmI was wanting to know a little more information about the chocolate. Did you melt a Hershey candy bar, chocolate chips, or what? I would love to make this for Christmas but I’m unclear about the chocolate. Thanks so much for all the delicious recipes! I’ve pinned and printed quite a few today in planning for the holidays.

13th December 2015 at 10:56 pmHi Patti! Thanks so much for writing in and so glad you’ve found some recipes to try over the holidays.
As far as the chocolate clusters goes, it really is flexible and you can choose any chocolate you like. It doesn’t need to be fancy nor expensive, any regular chocolate, f in a bar, break it up so it melts easier, chips, then just pop those in a bowl etc.
I’ve used white and milk chocolate, just normal eating bars from the store and they were super.
I’ve also added some raisins to some of the clusters, and cranberries to the white chocolate ones, so don’t worry about any specific ingredients.
Go with what you like the most, it will still taste lovely!
Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas!
