Ingredients
Simple 2-Ingredient Base:
2 cups Roasted peanuts (unsalted or lightly salted)
1 1/2 cups (250g) Sugar-free dark chocolate chips (e.g., 70%+ dark or stevia-sweetened chocolate)
Optional Flavor Boosters:
1 tsp Coconut oil (for a silky, glossy chocolate finish)
1/2 tsp Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling on top)
1/2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Melt the Chocolate: Place the sugar-free dark chocolate chips (and optional coconut oil) into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval until fully melted, smooth, and glossy.
2. Mix in the Peanuts: Stir the pure vanilla extract into the melted chocolate (if using), then fold in the 2 cups of roasted peanuts until every single peanut is thoroughly coated.
3. Scoop Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using two spoons or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate peanut mixture into mounds on the parchment paper.
4. Chill to Set: Sprinkle a light pinch of flaky sea salt over the top of each cluster. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator or freezer for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate sets firm and crunchy.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Serve cold and enjoy that satisfying chocolatey snap!
Chef’s Tips
Use Dry-Roasted Peanuts: Using dry-roasted, unsalted or lightly salted peanuts gives the clusters the crispest texture and best flavor contrast against the dark chocolate!
Mix Up the Nuts: You can swap or combine the peanuts with roasted almonds, pecans, or walnuts for a custom keto nut cluster batch!
