Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) package of semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
- ¼ cup of creamy or crunchy peanut butter (optional)
- 2 cups of unsalted peanuts
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
- If using, stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated.
- Add the peanuts to the melted vegan chocolate and mix well until evenly coated.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the vegan chocolate is fully hardened.
- Once set, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use good quality vegan chocolate: It will make all the difference!
- For the most crunch: Use roasted peanuts.
- Adjust the size: Feel free to make smaller or larger clusters. Just ensure they aren’t too thick, or they become tricky to eat.
