Easy Fudgy Chocolate Peanut Clusters
No-bake easy fudgy salted chocolate peanut clusters don't require a candy thermometer! Switch out chocolate chips and nuts for a variety of treats!
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups peanuts (salted)
- Maldon sea salt flakes
Instructions
- In a non-stick large saucepan, add the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk and melt over medium heat until it’s smooth.
- Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla, then stir in the peanuts.
- Scoop the mixture on to a waxed paper lined baking sheet using a small cookie scoop. If you want, sprinkle with a little Malden sea salt at this point to give them a little extra little bit of fancy, (optional, but FABULOUS.)
- Let them completely cool and set, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until firm – at least two hours, then serve! (Note, these are best stored in the refrigerator.)
Notes
Variation Tip: You can use semi-sweet OR dark chocolate chips for these! (Milk chocolate chips would work too, but would definitely be a lot sweeter.) Also, try switching the peanuts for pecans, walnuts, cashews or macadamia nuts! You could even add a 1/2 tsp of almond extract for a boost of flavor. There are so many combinations you can enjoy!
