Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Peanut Clusters
March 10, 2018
Introduction
One of my favorite movie theater candies is chocolate covered peanuts! It’s a classic. Give me a box and I would almost eat the whole thing. So, what’s a girl a girl to do without her favorite movie snack? Well, that’s where these jewels come in! Let me know what your favorite movie theatre candy/snack is in the comments!
How To Make these Dark Chocolate Peanut Clusters:
This is probably going to be the easiest recipe (other than our keto candied pecans) you will ever lay eyes on:
- Melt dark chocolate
- Throw peanuts in with chocolate
- Mix so that chocolate covers peanuts
- Put clusters in a muffin cup
- Sprinkle with sea salt and place in freezer to set for 5 minutes
- Enjoy and store in fridge
Boom. You just made yourself some super easy, sweet, crunchy, and salty peanut clusters!
I found it easiest to put the clusters into a mini muffin pan. That way you can control the size of the clusters and avoid making much of a mess. Just my personal preference. 🙂 Another option is just to get a baking sheet, line with parchment paper, and drop them on.
Peanuts are my favorite tree nut, but maybe they’re not yours. If not, substitute peanuts with your favorite! 🙂 Roasted almonds, cashews, and even hazel nuts are all great substitutes.
