White Chocolate Peanut Clusters

A quick, easy, no-bake candy perfect for holidays or a simple sweet treat.

⭐ Ingredients

• 16 oz (about 450g) White Chocolate Melting Wafers or Almond Bark (or good quality white chocolate chips)
• 4 cups (about 20 oz or 560g) Roasted and Salted Peanuts (Dry roasted or Spanish peanuts work great)
• (Optional additions for texture):
  • 1/2 cup Mini Marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies or Corn Flakes Cereal

🥄 Equipment

• Baking Sheet
• Parchment Paper or Wax Paper
• Large Microwave-Safe Bowl or Double Boiler
• Spatula or Wooden Spoon

📝 Instructions

1. Prepare: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
2. Melt the Chocolate: Place the white chocolate/almond bark in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power in **30-second intervals**, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
3. Combine Peanuts: Remove the melted chocolate from the heat. Pour the roasted peanuts (and any optional additions like marshmallows and cereal) into the melted chocolate.
4. Stir to Coat: Use a spatula or spoon to gently fold the peanuts and additions until everything is completely coated with the white chocolate.
5. Form Clusters: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave a little space between each cluster.
6. Set: Allow the clusters to sit at room temperature for several hours until the chocolate is completely set and hard. To speed up the process, you can refrigerate them for about 20-30 minutes.
7. Store: Once set, transfer the clusters to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator for several weeks.
