Indulge in the ultimate dessert with this easy Crockpot chocolate peanut clusters recipe, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings. Combining rich chocolate and crunchy peanuts, these delicious clusters make for a delightful snack any time of year.

Ingredients

2 cups of creamy milk chocolate chips

1 cup of rich semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 cups of crunchy salted peanuts (or unsalted, if preferred)

1 cup of toasted pecans, roughly chopped (optional)

1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

A sprinkle of sea salt for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare Your Crockpot: Start by lightly spraying the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray to ensure easy release of the clusters after they set.

    Melt the Chocolates: Add both the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the crockpot. Set the heat on low and allow the chocolates to melt over approximately 30 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally until the mixture is beautifully smooth and completely combined.

      Mix in Peanuts & Pecans: Once your chocolates are melted to perfection, incorporate the salted peanuts and the chopped pecans (if using). Stir vigorously to ensure that each peanut is generously coated in the decadent chocolate.

        Forming Clusters: Utilize a spoon or cookie scoop to dollop generous spoonfuls of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Aim for bite-sized clusters to create the perfect treat for snacking.

          Cool & Allow to Set: If desired, enhance flavor by sprinkling a touch of sea salt on top of each cluster. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set completely, which should take about 1 to 2 hours.

            Serve or Store: Once fully set, indulge in your delightful chocolate peanut clusters! Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
