Why have I only just learned about this? I thought this kind of thing would be complicated and involve tempering chocolate, but it isn’t and it doesn’t. Take 2 cups of milk chocolate chips. Melt the chocolate in a double-boiler or in the microwave. Then add 1 cup of roasted, lightly salted peanuts. Stir together, then spoon out the clusters onto plastic wrap or parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Place in a cool place and let them set — it takes about an hour. These are addictive, almost like a home-made Snickers bar.
You could vary this recipe in all kinds of ways: you could switch to dark chocolate, or you could use butterscotch chips or even better peanut butter chips, or mix any of these up with chocolate chips. And you could use almonds instead of peanuts. The proportions would be the same for any of these combinations.
I am totally making these…
