HOW TO MAKE DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT CLUSTERS IN A CROCKPOT?
Follow the simple recipe below to make these delicious Chocolate Peanut Clusters from scratch.
- Line a kitchen counter or three baking trays with parchment (there are many chocolate clusters).
Place all the chocolate in the crockpot, close the lid, and set the low setting for 1 to 2 hours. - When the chocolate is melted, stir it with a silicone spatula, then with a whisk until smooth.
- Add all the peanuts and mix thoroughly until they are completely covered. Switch the crockpot to the heating mode and do not take out the bowl.
- Use an ice cream spoon or a regular tablespoon to scoop up the chocolate mixture and place on the prepared parchment. Rinse the bowl immediately after use until the chocolate is hardened.
- Wait 1-2 hours until the chocolate clusters are completely hardened. You can speed up the process by placing the baking sheets in the refrigerator. Then you can easily transfer the candy to a container with an airtight lid and store it for about a week.

The best crock pot dark chocolate peanut clusters recipe is the best recipe because you can easily upgrade it.
For general chocolate-to-nut ratios, use any type of chocolate. White, bitter, semi-sweet – this way you change not only the appearance of the chocolate clusters but also their taste.
HOW DO I STORE PEANUT CLUSTERS?
After making the dark chocolate peanut clusters in the crockpot, take care of the candy storage.

TIPS FOR BAKING THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE PEANUT CLUSTERS
- If desired, use any type of chocolate chips: white, bitter, semi-sweet. Thus, you can experiment not only with the appearance but also the taste of your candies.
- I recommend using blanched and roasted peanuts instead of raw ones. This will extend the shelf life of your chocolate clusters.
- As a festive decoration, you can lay red and green m & m’s on top of still uncured candies.
- If you don’t have a crockpot or multicooker, melt the chocolate in a water bath using a large and medium saucepan. The key to success: The bottom of the smaller saucepan should not touch the boiling water in the large saucepan. Otherwise, the chocolate will burn to the bottom.
