Ingredients
Chocolate Mixture
- 1½ cups keto milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons keto peanut butter
Add-ins
- 2¼ cups peanuts
- Optional: sprinkle with coarse salt
Instructions
- Prepare pans: Line two 13x9 inch pans with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of clusters once set.
- Melt chocolate and peanut butter: In a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the keto milk chocolate chips and keto peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. This usually takes about 1 to 1½ minutes total.
- Mix in peanuts: Add the peanuts to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until all the nuts are completely coated with the chocolate and peanut butter blend, ensuring even coverage.
- Form clusters: Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto the prepared parchment-lined pans. If desired, sprinkle each cluster lightly with coarse salt to enhance flavor.
- Freeze to set: Place the pans in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the clusters are completely firm and set.
- Serve or store: Once set, serve the clusters immediately or store them covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Using coarse salt enhances the sweet and salty flavor contrast but is optional.
- Make sure to use keto-friendly chocolate chips and peanut butter without added sugar for a true keto snack.
- Store clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freezing ensures the clusters set quickly and hold their shape well.
