Step 3: Mix in the Peanuts
Once the chocolate is smooth and glossy, add the peanuts. Stir well to ensure every peanut is fully coated in chocolate.
If you want extra flavor, this is the moment to add a pinch of sea salt or a drop of vanilla extract.
Step 4: Form the Clusters
Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto your prepared parchment paper.
Each scoop should form a small “cluster”—there’s no need for perfection here. The rustic look is part of the charm.
Step 5: Chill Until Set
Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30–45 minutes, or in the freezer for 15–20 minutes.
The clusters are ready when the chocolate has completely hardened.
Step 6: Store and Enjoy
Once set, remove the clusters from the tray and store them in an airtight container.
- Fridge: Keeps them firm and fresh for up to 2 weeks
- Freezer: Extends shelf life to over a month
Tips for Best Results
- Choose high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the final taste
- Adjust sweetness: If your chocolate isn’t sweet enough, add a keto-friendly sweetener
- Control portions: These are addictive—making smaller clusters helps with moderation
- Experiment: Try adding almonds, pecans, or shredded coconut for variation
