Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Sheet

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone mat.
• Set aside for later.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

• Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Alternatively, microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3: Coat the Peanuts

• Remove the chocolate from heat and stir in the roasted peanuts until fully coated.
• Add vanilla extract for extra flavor.

Step 4: Form the Clusters

• Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Keep clusters evenly spaced.

Step 5: Garnish & Set

• If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top for a delicious sweet-salty contrast.
• Let the clusters sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until firm.

Step 6: Enjoy & Store

• Once set, enjoy immediately or transfer to an airtight container.
• Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, in the fridge for 1 month, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
