The Simplest Chocolate Peanut Clusters

Truly these Chocolate Peanut Clusters can’t get any easier.

I make some with semi-sweet chocolate and some with white chocolate and when it’s all said and done, I’ve spent about 10 total minutes making amazing Christmas treats.

You don’t have to scoop these treats into muffin cups, but they sure do a lot to dress up the plate, don’t you think? (Read more ideas here for ways to serve festive food without using food coloring.)

The effort it takes to make these Chocolate Peanut Clusters involves pouring chocolate chips into a saucepan with peanuts, then stirring them both together until they melt. Two-ish minutes later your mission has been accomplished. Scoop the melty mixture into muffin-lined cups. Refrigerate. Serve or package up to give as gifts.

If only all of our Christmas preparations would be this easy!

If you’re into more time consuming treats (ha!), try these Truffles. I prefer simpler recipes, but of course the effort it worth the prize when you make truffles. They also make amazing Christmas gifts!

Also great for gift giving: Homemade Peppernuts. My grandma always made these at Christmastime!

    I see the recipe calls for un-salted nuts. But I’m going to push back on that and suggest that salty nuts with sweet chocolate would be a sublime combo! :) Thanks for the reminder of this easy, satisfying treat. I love these things but never think to make them!

      Good call! I’ve found that salted nuts seem too salty in recipes like this, which is why I use unsalted nuts then add a little of my own sea salt for that perfect combo!

    Laura I have tried several of your recipes and enjoyed each one. Your faith comes through and that’s what attracted me initially to your website.
    Thanks, and GOD bless you and your family.
