Ingredients
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 2 cups dry roasted salted peanuts
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and the butterscotch chips.
Step 3
Microwave the chocolate and butterscotch chips on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1.5–2 minutes. Be careful not to overheat to avoid burning the chocolate.
Step 4
Once the mixture is smooth, stir in the dry roasted salted peanuts until they are fully coated in the chocolate and butterscotch mixture.
Step 5
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters.
Step 6
Allow the clusters to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place the tray in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 7
Once set, remove the clusters from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for extended freshness.
Step 8
Enjoy these delicious Chocolate Butterscotch Peanut Clusters as a treat or gift them to friends and family!
